That class was pretty solid too. If I remember correctly they just took the wrong CB as Samuel was available. He was rated higher on just about every board out there… but not for our brain trusts.
IMO probably so…the CB class is that good.
The think the corner position can have different rankings team by team, depending what they want and who fits bests. For Quinn/McClay, they will be targeting extreme athletes with elite speed/length. I'm telling you if Ringo if there, they will have a hard time passing him up, he fits all those traits they seek at the position. Dane said the same things were said about Campbell coming out and he has turned into a good player. Banks might, depending on his timed speed, but cannot see them even considering a corner like Clark. Really like Cam Smith, but think he goes before us. Fully understand we can get wiped out waiting for a guy to fall to 58 due to the need of the position league wide.
And while I don’t agree with the concept, the good thing for us is most of the guys are 6’0+ and will likely have longer arms.
Things will change after the combine, but the consensus is that the top 3 will be long gone and we both agree, if 1 slid, they would be the pick. Question is, who do they like best in that 2nd tier? If they went in another direction at 26, can they afford to wait it out for 58? I feel these corners are going to fly off the board.
It’s hard for me to rank them now…After the combine I’m looking for sub 4.5 40s and solid 3 cone times.
I just was listening to Dane on the draft show and he was real high on Banks. He said he did an excellent job covering Harrison Jr against Ohio State and is excellent in run support, would be a very good pairing with Diggs on the other side.
Yea, just listened myself and agree. He’s rising for me.
Banks has seemingly come out of nowhere. The entire Maryland secondary secondary got cooked by Rice who seems to be falling down draft boards. Banks seemed to get better but I do wonder about his speed and he seems to lack ball skills. But he does have the size and length this team covet.
I've learned you really shouldn't listen to Broaddus much; he doesn't put in the time, and just makes **** up.
I don’t think there’s any danger of this team taking a TE in round 1. I just don’t know that they view any of these guys as that dynamic. But this is a good group. The question is how much better is it than what we have ?
if we dont draft a TE and let Shultz go we should be ok but if a game changing TE is there at 26 then we cant ignore it.
I am comfortable at tight end, but would consider Mayer and Musgrave at 26. Gibbs is my number 1 target at 26.
They can sign a free agent corner.
Mayer is a consideration at 26. He is unstoppable in the redzone.
I like Tyler Scott in the 2nd round. I would like Mayer or Gibbs at 26. Charbonnet or Scott in the 2nd.
Too expensive on the open market, outside of a bridge starter
I wonder what Jamel Dean will cost/year? PFF guessed at:
