Hamilton dropping?

He's one of the few players that basically gets rave reviews from all the pundits. His biggest knock from most of the draft guys is not his play but rather the position he plays, as many teams don't value safeties.

If he's there at 24 and we pass, we are a dumb franchise. He won't be, so we will be saved the embarrassment of passing on him for a WR.
Ok bro. There's plenty of can't miss guys that underachieve. I'm not trying to convince you. Time will tell. I hope we are dumb
 
Bingo…40 times are so overrated for the LBr and S position.

I don’t care Dean didn’t run and Lloyd ran in the 4.6s. Their instincts are great and their game speed is rock solid.
That is the key for those positions, can they see the play before it happens. Term that is used, always around the football.

It reminds me of chess, can you see the board 2 or 3 moves ahead. I can't, and that's why I'm a terrible player.

It's not even really about intelligence.... it's more like having good spatial memory. Byron Jones is one of the smarter Cowboys we've had this decade, but he had absolutely no feel for space.

Yep. Save the speed for the corners. You don't have to be lightning fast to be a good safety. No one should run by you.

This is why Sean Lee looked like a 4.5 LBr…elite instincts.

Everyone wants to talk about Deans speed but the other UGA LBs are just as fast…he just has elite instincts and they don’t.
 
I’m hearing from my Washington people that they really like Hamilton.

They likely would prefer a future QB but highly unlikely they pass on a talent like Hamilton. They can use Wentz for 2-3 years
Especially considering they let Landon Collins go who did pretty well in the role Hamilton would thrive in.
 
Forty times are so overrated. No pads, no instincts, no burst, no agility. Football doesn't work like that always. Speed is good, but a just one part of the pie. Imagine passing up on Jerry Rice because he didn't run a good 40.
 
I don’t see Hamilton dropping to 24. And if he did I still don’t see this team drafting a Safety in round 1. We’re 1 of the many teams that don’t value the position. How else would you explain a guy thought of as a sure fire top 5 player dropping that far ?
 
It would absolutely put a bow on this crap fest of an off-season.

Burks is seriously the one guy I don’t want in Round 1.

i'd take him in a heartbeat.
but stephen jones is still in his chair...so that poor ol' safety position will continue to get slighted.
 
To have a real shot at replacing Woody after nearly 20 years I am quite sure if he were to come close we should grab him with both hands.

By the way I see very little sign he will drop out of the top 5, let along top ten.
