He also said Woods was gonna be a stud.
oline if Surtain is gone. We HAVE to win at the point of attack. and on dline.This is the pick! Surtain Jr. for best player available that fits a need!
Farley is not on the Surtain Jr. level. I like Wade more than Farley.
However, if Surtain Jr. is off the board, then we should take best player available
regardless of offense or defense.
good point. Which is why I am leaning Oline at 10. Plug and play starter instantly.Farley and Parsons sitting this year out is a very scary proposition IMO. That’s a long time to sit out for a young guy.
Just stop it!! Are you a Bama fan? Why compare Surtain who hasn't played 1 snap in the NFL to a future Hall of Famer? There is no doubt he is a high floor player, but many believe he has limited upside. Lack of long speed, average ball skills, some question his tackling in the run game. A lot of the same negatives were heard about Diggs, outside of the ball skills. The most common player comp is Bryon Jones. As we know a quality starter, but not a all-pro type.
I believe Surtain will be a quality player on the next level and would love to have him, but don't see a future superstar on the next level as Revis was. Let's see how he performs tonight against a legitimate test, which Notre Dame was not.
Better than Farley??Very good player. Will be a day one starter and probably your starter for the next 8 to 10 years.
He is very polished, but doesn’t possess elite traits at the positionYes, I Am. Doesn’t change the fact that Todd McShay has said that Surtain is the most technically/Fundamentally sound CB he has ever scouted in his entire career of Scouting.
He says it during the Playoff game VS. The Irish if you’re interested in looking it up.
no one IS Revis in this draft. He was a generational CORNER. So stop it guys lol. Jerry would actually commit murder in broad daylight if he thought we had a guy as good as Revis in this draft and we could get him at 10. Jerry would DO ANYTHING.
He is very polished, but doesn’t possess elite traits at the position
Already said, he lacks elite speed and ball skills.Im really curious. What elite traits are you saying he doesn’t posses? He wouldn’t be considered in the Top5 of the Draft if he didn’t posses Elite Talent...
I’ve watched every Alabama game for the past Decade or so and I’m willing to bet my next years Salary that Patrick Surtain will become a Star.
Kid has been drilled on Technique & Fundamentals since he could walk (His exact words). His father was a NFL CB so it makes sense.
Even in the CFP game against Notre Dane. The Head Coach for the Irish said he has told his QB all week to never throw at Surtain no matter what and they didn’t except 1Time when Surtain almost got the Interception. The Commentator even pointed out that Surtain was trying to Bait ‘Book(IrishQB) into passing his way.
The Kid is special, and would transform our Secondary. Add Him & a Safety = our Secondary massive improvement, also can’t forget Diggs with a year under his belt and healthy.
Thoughts?
Side Note: Surtain has Started at CB since Day1, walked onto Alabama Campus.
Cavanaugh has been sneaky good the past few years.
He's got a bit of shtick going .."Team 40 Burger" and "Captain Trade Down" but he's been right on prospects a lot lately.
Also, I like Horn a lot BUT do not think he's better than Surtain.
For me, it's 1A Farley, 1B Surtain, 3 Horn, and then a big margin before Kendrick and the 2 Georgia Corners. Asante Samuel Jr. is really good, just smallish.
