Numbers: Claiborne vs. Diggs

Fair enough.

I always wondered that about Jerry….does he structure his team this way so we don’t know who to blame or is it do we can’t put full blame on him lol….

Diggs is more of a ball hawk corner. Don’t think Claiborne was ever touted as a ball hawk corner coming out of college. The rest blame the idiot running the org for trading up

I'm just not understanding where the thought is coming from that he wasn't a complete bust.

Probably the same school of thought that Lamb is or will ever be more than an average #2 WR.

Pretty complete.

I meant he have us some positive play vs being a total bust like Ryan leaf.

He was 100% touted as a ball hawk coming out of LSU. They pointed to the fact he was recruited as a wide receiver out of high school and had special ball skills which separated him as a cornerback.

Diggs is getting another interception Sunday.

Might even get 2 against Wentz.

I call 2 vs wentz

I call 2 vs wentz

Remember Wentz, #7 is always open.

Is Claiborne officially our worst first round draft pick of the last decade or so? Just because of how high it was? If you draft a corner that high, you’re expecting a decade of Pro Bowls. His one year contract his last year with the Boys very reminiscent of LVE’s situation.

Claiborne was...okay. I'd say the Taco and Barbie Carpenter picks are worse.

That trade up still irks me. lol

Could have had Brockers and Wagner...

The worst move the FO did was give Rob Ryan two man corners and give up a lot in doing so, then fire Rob Ryan to then hire Kiffin, who was an outdated Cover 2 coordinator.

Yes, that doesn't mean they never ran man coverage under Monte/Rod the year after but I didn't like that they spent money and picks on corners specifically for man then blew up the defense the following year. The only corner that didn't struggle with zone was Scandrick.

This post is so accurate it's giving me flashbacks.
