If your highlight asset is tackling I'll pass. Minka was taking the ball away
If you think his calling card is just being a good tackler I’d encourage you to take a deeper dive on him…like much deeper.

Nah I've seen enough. Just like I saw enough of Dax Hill who was hyped on here and I didn't see it. (Kyle Hamilton too)

I haven't seen a safety the past few years worth a 1. This year is no different

Broaden your horizons in eval man…there’s so much more to it.
Lol. I think I'm pretty spot on regarding secondary players. I don't see anything Hamilton did that was special this year. Daxton Hill? No. Branch will be another slot/good tackler like Hamilton. I don't care for it in round 1. I was the only one saying Hamilton isn't close to a top 3 prosp he was hyped as. I know exactly what I'm watching. Branch is a day 2 guy. You sell JSN short and I don't get butthurt like you are lol. Relax

Got it. So Bland is better than Diggs bc he had more picks.

Branch is a in the box safety that excels in run support. Can Branch make plays in coverage? yes but he isn't a ballhawk like Minka was at Bama and currently in Pitt. If I had to compare, Branch is more like Landon Collins big time thumper with the ability to make plays in coverage if opportunity is presented itself.

With that being said I don't see Branch making it to 26

Man I struggle with that comparison. Collins was always labeled as a downhill player and was a mediocre athlete with stiff hips.

Branch plays slot CB and high safety at times bc he’s able to cover. Think he’ll also be a SPARQ monster related to athleticism.

Minkah is a little taller, so maybe not the same body type but the do it all aspect of his game is why I think the comp makes sense.

:laugh: ok bro. I'm telling you I don't want a safety in round 1 with basic ball skills and plays slot. That's day 2 to me. After the season that's exactly what he will be. Just a solid type player. The Minkah comp is funny to me but whatever

He plays more than slot and just looking at ball skills is an interesting way to evaluate a DB but ok.

I know he plays more than slot. He plays safety and at safety he didn't make many plays. That's NOT round 1. I never said he wasn't a good player :facepalm:

You literally just said you don’t want a safety in round 1 that plays slot. But all good, thanks for sharing.

You really acting like a girl over this lol. Let me explain slower. I don't want a safety in round 1 whose MAIN MAIN MAIN production is slot, and even then he doesn't produce turnovers.

Haven't considered Branch because I always figured he'd be gone before Dallas picks. Of course he's an awesome player.

As you keep adding lol at the end of your sentences like we’re in middle school but I’m acting like a girl.

Thanks for your in depth analysis on Branch.

Yah…I never really watched him considering the same but such a fun player. I’d imagine he’ll be gone top 20.

Only middle schoolers use lol? More clown talk from the female getting mad because people don't agree with his player analysis. Comparing Branch to Minkah LOL
