Surtain-might not be in the team's plans

D
Since our new DB Coach, Joe Whitt was hired, all I have heard is he covets big/long corners, with elite speed. Bryan Broaddus, even mentioned it on the draft show the other day. Before he even mentioned it, I've heard the same thing a few times when reading up on both Quinn/Whitt after they were hired.

This suggests (speculation), that Patrick Surtain's skillset might not be the type of corner they covet. They already have a quality corner who can cover the so called X Receivers, who has speed limitations in Trevon Diggs, they may want to pair him up with more of a elite, speed type on the other side. Players like Farley, Melifonwu (who had a terrific week at the Senior Bowl) are better fits. Something to watch during the process.
Diggs ran a 4.43, not exactly pedestrian. Surtain’s size, technical prowess a fluidity he’s not off anyone’s board especially this teams. He’s damm near perfect combined with Diggs for the zone scheme they’re going to run!
 
Can Surtain help this defense?
Yes.
Can Farley help this defense?
Yes.
Can Horn help this defense?
Yes.

Will any of them be available at 10?

Ah that's the rub...
I see absolutely no way how none of them are there....the top 10 is going to be offense heavy based on needs. I could see probably 1 or 2 teams going defense.....but there's no way these first few teams are skipping QB and going defense.
 
Based on t

Based on times of 4.43 to 4.45 that he had been clocked at through his time at Alabama!

Hand times? Cool...so add about a tenth of a second to it and that probably closer to what he would’ve run at the combine.

4.53 is right around what I would’ve expected.
 
Get a bad corner because he has length. Wonder why we suck

Familiar with the scheme. Drafted by Whitt. He hasn’t been as bad as the last game. He’s younger and likely cheaper than a guy like Sherman.

But hey. Let me post about us signing Tomlinson, Simmons and more top tier free agents like the rest of the board I suppose just to be let down again.

Was King good with Whitt though? Like why do we care if he played for our new guy if he didnt play well? What sense does that make? I dont care if they are likely to do it, I'm saying its dumb. Thats like Marenilli begging Gruden to sign Taco

Don’t disagree it being dumb.

Not surprised if we don’t sign two out of Keanu Neal, Kazee, King, Sherman
 
I think they should move Robinson back to CB asap. Will McClay likes big CBs too, so they all should be on the same page.
I think Robinson has been a forgotten prospect but does possess the size and skill set to succeede in Quinn’s defense.
 
Then what are doing at 10?

I think it depends on how the draft plays out but if it were me, I'd take an LT if the one I liked was there or I might trade down. If one of the QBs slipped, that I liked, I'd probably look real hard at that.

It may surprise you, but I actually agree. I have said in other threads if Dak's long-term agreement isn't completed before the draft, you to think about taking a QB.

Not surprised at all. I never saw you as somebody who didn't pay attention. I just saw you as a poster that didn't agree with some of the conclusions I had come to. It's not a personal thing for me. If you can't work out a deal that works for everybody, then the only reasonable alternative is to begin the search again.
 
Someone tell me the DC who doesn't covet long corners with elite speed. That's something literally every DC would want.
