I'd rather have Phillip Thomas in rd 3-4. He would suit our defense a whole lot better.

He's got a lot of talent, the problem I've always had with him was he's one of those guys who's satisfied with his teammates making the tackle. He has a lot of film out there that makes you question his effort and passion for the game.

But like I said, he's got legit talent... nothing like the stiff Taylor Mays who he gets compared to, this kid is extremely fluid for his size. Just wish he stepped up a little more and played to his ability on a consistent basis at SC. Hard to overlook a lack of effort.

Then again, Kiffin would know him better than anyone and if he wants him I'm not gonna question it.

Bacarri Rambo in the 2nd. Please and thank you. Perfect safety for the new defense we will run.

I think the reason why it looked like McDonald regressed this year is because of the other guys USC was throwing out there in the secondary around him. Their coners were pretty awful.

And who exactly are these "resources" that we have at the safety position? Matt Johnson????? Please don't say Matt Johnson, or Gerald Sensabaugh, or Barry Church for that matter. None of those guys are even close to the type of guys that would prevent you from drafting a young talented player if the value is right.

I really liked his tape from the Stanford game. Amazing versatility. He played in the box, single high,nickel linebacker. They even played hin a lot as a standup 9 tech in dime packages rushing the passer, which you hardly ever see out of a safety. Those that think that Kiffin is just going to sit his safeties back in Cover 2 the entire game really need to get past elementary school definitions of what the scheme does.

Despite labeling myself a "realist", no one understands my pain or appreciates my special truth. Stupid world.

I don't like him. He has terrible technique in his run defense. He's a penalty waiting to happen. He's also a head hunter. I don't like him.

You need look no further than John Lynch. He didn't make his mark on the NFL playing the deep half his whole career.

Rambo is the perfect safety for this defense and he can be had in the late second or third round.

This is who I want.
If you build it, he will run...

Will it save you any grey hairs if I mention that Rambo was suspended for the 1st four games or 2012 for a failed drug test and the 1st game of 2011 for "an inadvertent brush with marijuana"?

It might not seem like a big deal, but the Cowboys have only drafted squeaky clean players since Garrett became the Head Coach.

I'm aware of all that, and I'm assuming its the main reason we aren't hearing his name being kicked around.

The reality is, he was a 19/20 year old guy who smoked weed. Big whoop.

The question you can ask is whether he is mature enough or not to cut that out in the NFL. I don't have the answer. What I do think is that, he's a first round talent who might slip because of it. I have a hard time passing up on that late in the 2nd or in the third.

It's a good thing there's no drug testing in the NFL either... oh wait.
We need wins, and that's all we need. I don't give a damn about anyone on this roster over wins. I'd trade Ware, Lee and Dez if it meant more wins.

Looks like a player to me.

The university of GA has a much stricter drug testing policy than a lot of schools. They tested them immediately after spring break and they failed. Rambo alleges it was a brownie he ate while in Panama City, but I'm not going to take a guy completely off my draft board for one bad decision. He was suspended 1 game his junior season b/c he was pulled over and a joint was found in the purse of a passenger in his car. He wasn't charged, but UGA suspended him anyways for 1 game.
