Rapp ran a 4.78, Church ran a 4.69 coming out...He won’t get faster...NO I do not want Church 2.0. Trade up for Adderly, Thornhill or Gardner and move on to DT.
Thornhill is a ball hawk with good instincts, Rapp is a thumper that’s more of a fit for a box safety. Would love either
That number is a bit skewed because of his groin injury.
When healthy Rapp is a 4.5 guy
Issue with Thornhill is, they view Woods as their FS. Thornhill can play SS, but they likely move him in the slot or eventual cornerback.
Rapp does not have a second gear. Solid box safety but in the NFL nowadays you need speed. Speed does not increase as he gets older. The tape does not show that much speed. Will he upgrade Heath..definitely..but I want more. We have gone too long with mediocre safety play.
Rapps stats dont hold a candle to Thornhill. Trade up and get the man!
Great defenses are built on speed. I agree with you that another Church is not needed. Rapp is young and he is as fast as he will ever be a this point. He is only going to get slower every year from here on out. Why waste a pick knowing this? That lack of speed will hurt the defense for years to come if they draft Rapp.Rapp ran a 4.78, Church ran a 4.69 coming out...He won’t get faster...NO I do not want Church 2.0.

1) Adderly
2) Thornhill
3) CGJ
4) Rapp
What are the chances all four of them will be taken by 58? I'm wondering if people think we will need to trade up to secure a good S or if one will drop into our lap
