Kiper's reply to my Amukamara question

[ChooChoo73]

Is Amukamara any better than Newman or Jenkins? How would you compare him to those two when they were in the draft

Newman was right there. He would have been right there with Amukamara. Amukamara is a solid CB. He has to trust his athletic ability a little more. There were a couple of times he was beaten by a double move. He played a lot of football at Nebraska. In my opinion, he's my 10-11 best player in this draft. He's worthy of being a pick for Dallas at 9, Houston at 11, Detroit at 13

Man, I keep hearing the Titans like Amukamara. It will not go away. It's been weeks.

That'd be great. It pushes a better player to us at 9.

I would be just as if not more happpy if we took prince at 9 than tyron smith. Newmans almost done and jenkins showed he's not exactly reliable. Prince would be safe to call our long term #1 cb.

I'll need to buy another flat screen if we take prince.

Maybe because Houston secondary was rated lower than us.

Newman was ranked higher. Newman was thought to be in the race to be #1 that year as a darkhorse. He's probably not thought of as high as Peterson this year, but Newman was liked by every team (especially in interviews).
