I also think that brown is a solid number 2 corner. he does not have the top speed to be a shut down corner. if he did he would have gone higher then the sixth round. I can not wait to see awusie and lewis in preason to see how they play. to see if they can be better then brown or equal. if one of those two can be a starter opposite to brown then we will save a lot of cap money for a few seasons and not having to invest in another first round corner in the future.

Speed is his best attribute. He ran a 4.35 and most scouting guides rank his speed as close to elite.

I did not know that. brown just does not look like he has top speed. hopefully he does not become larry brown and just gave us three years and disappears like he did after the 95 superbowl.

For one, I think people overstate how good he really was last year. He was solid, which for a rookie, was pretty good.

Then, odds alone suggest it's a long shot that a 6th round CB develops into what is pretty rare in the NFL....... An elite, true #1 CB.

He can get too handsy at times which can hurt you in the NFL. He needs better technique as he sometimes tries to rely on his speed to make up for other issues.

I like Brown a lot and you can win a SB with a CB like him. I just don't believe he's a future Richard Sherman, Darrelle Revis, Aqib Talib, etc.

I'd love to be wrong.

I would hope no one is comparing him at this point to the players who you mentioned. Right now, he looks like a solid starter with some room to develop.

I appreciate it but I doubt I will be feeling a whole lot better. I have played a lot of football in my life and I have had major injuries. I've done rehab and I've come back from those injuries but one thing I know. You don't know nothing until you play with contact, under the full weight of the players and the game. It's one thing to run drills. It's an entirely different thing to deal with lineman and FBs and TE's chipping you and WRs running whams at you.

Bottom line, we won't know until the first time he really gets in and plays under game conditions. Sigh....

Don't even start comparing your injuries or recovery from those to that of a professional athlete.

Sherman was a 5th rounder himself. Hardly a stretch to think it impossible to find quality just one round later.

I never said impossible. But when you look at all the CBs taken in later rounds and see how many develop into elite CBs, that percentage is not very high at all.
