I like the fact Diggs has WR experience I think they will serve him well as he really has the mindset of making plays on the ball. His over aggressiveness has gotten him in trouble, he just needs to be smart and play under control

Interesting about that 2008 draft that Talib was in.

Supposedly very deep at corner, and Dallas was pretty much definitely taking one early (in addition to the "wow" pick Jerry stood up and vowed to add).
Had two firsts.

Leodis McKelvin
Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie
Aquib Talib
Mike Jenkins
Antoine Cason
Brandon Flowers
Tracy Porter

Talib ended up being the best of all those guys. None of them completely busted but all were disappointing to a degree.

Flowers was ok for a bit. DRC was a journeyman. Porter made a play in front of the world.

Another interesting note was that Dallas selected Orlando Scandrick and KC selected Brandon Carr in the 5th round.

All the teams that took a 1st round corner swore they had the spot covered for a decade. Keep in mind for when we debate 1st round capital.

First off Talib has a beautiful facility for players to train at...heck I want to go and lock up some WRs (big joke).

@fivetwos Antoine Cason was my dude. That was a good draft or at least I liked that class.

I too, was cool with Diggs in the 1st. I didn't want Terrell or Chaisson. Yung dude gonna get tested Sunday tho....Kupp n Woods go hard.

He very well could be. I don’t remember a young secondary guy getting off to as fast a start in camp as Diggs.

I still think he’s going to struggle a bit in zone for at least his first year but he has all the tools to be great.

Honestly, had Lamb been gone I would’ve been fine with Diggs in the first round...going into the draft he was my first round want!! Still cannot believe the way it played out.
Not sure if he would have been the choice if Lamb wasn't there, but I recall after the draft the Cowboys saying Diggs had been on their radar as a possible 1st round pick.
