I think he should have been higher. Not only did he break the record he was also one of the tops in the league defending the pass. When he wasn't returning an INT for a TD he was shutting out most receivers week in and week out.

Only thing I can see holding him back is giving up big plays at times and how we finished

I would say trade after the year for a high draft pick, preferably a first round pick. Bit I don't trust the Jones' boys to get anything better than a 5th for Bland and a 7th pick.

31? Should've been in the top 10.

He made history last season.

I think he was third in coverage grades and allowed a 50 passer ratings on throws against him. Besides the big splash plays he was just as solid as any corner.

:huh: Why trade a potential ALL-Pro for a lesser player.........yes a 1st rounder would be a lesser player

14 picks in 2 years and setting the record for pick six's last year should have put him in the top 10.

Well I’d do it because you could use his would be contract total and divide it amongst 2 free agents and then draft whatever you wanted with the extra 1st round pick.

Have to hit on those mid to late rounders. They cost nothing on a rookie deal.

Are you forgetting those times we had to use Gilmore to lock down Bland's receiver because he was torching Bland? Let's not manufacture a conspiracy without considering all the data.

Every corner has their off games there is no such thing as Reevis or Sanders in their prime anymore. Compared to every corner last year like I said his stats speak for themselves never mind the big splash plays that he made. How many bad games did he have out of 17? 1? I also didn't say anything about a conspiracy I just said I thought he should be higher you know like an opinion.
