Kelvin Joseph has been unimpressive

[Irvin88_4life]

Brother, Nfl.com had him rated as a good backup with the potential to become a starter. Had him going between the 2nd and 3rd rounds. I personally felt he was a 3rd + round pick because of the very few college games he actually ever played.

Many other websites had Joseph as either a 3rd or later rounds project who was going to need time to build into a starter.

Most of that was because of character issues, added to the fact of little playing time with LSU and Kentucky. Had he been a full time starter for 3 years at either school, he goes top 10 and out of the reach of Dallas unless you don't take Parsons

Kevin Smith was 17th overall in 1992 and didn't start until around WK 11 or 12 over Ike Holt. Looked like one of the best rookie CBs I've seen on their way to the Super Bowl.

Can you please give a more present day example vs something that was basically 30 years ago and 3 decades ago ?
i would think certain coaches and situations may likely dictate Day one or eventually starter roles.

If you trade up you are losing a 3rd round pick.

Im not losing Joseph and Gholston/Wright for Baremore.

Joseph has potential to be a lock down corner and looked really good in preseason. The times he was best was mostly against starters in this league but tackled them or escorted them to the sideline with minimal gain. Gave up 0 TDs and came up to tackle in the run game.

I don't get the dislike for Joseph unless its because of his rapping. Can't be because of play.

He only played 15 games in college.

He was the 44th overall pick. That should be a starter in the NFL.

btw, we passed on Walker Little.

Would have been an instant upgrade at RT.
