it might be jimmy smith or yanda retiring...think about the injuries...

Saw this on Rotoworld and my first thought was that it might be an upgrade, then I started digging and you are completely right...he might be a better player than Zuttah but his weaknesses are the exact same...he is small and has trouble when he has to use strength against bigger DLman...this really would not be an upgrade for us. He had some games where he graded out well this past season but then same games were down right awful

Yes this is huge, need at least 3!

See here is the thing...Zuttah was and may still be a serviceable or decent NFL player but if we really want this offense to take the next step, we can't afford to have our center be just a serviceable/decent NFL player...we need to get an above average good to great center and I think it would be huge for this team. So many times watching us play this year I felt like that was a common theme in my head.."Man if we had a good center it would do wonders for this offense"...I just don't think Zuttah is getting the job done anymore he does not hold his blocks and gets beat easily

Daniel Jeremiah also tweeted that Lattimore is the best CB he has studied this year...I very much value his insight, very interesting they seem to love him..initially I do not LOVE him, but there is alot of time from now till the draft to try to see what they see lol

I just think he (Wilson) strikes me as the more complete corner. If it makes sense to put it this way...when I watch Jones the biggest thing that stands out to me is his ability to play the ball really go up high point the ball and take it away from the WR and thats great he puts himself in position to do that on deep balls...now when I watch Wilson..the biggest thing that stands out to me are his man coverage skills, how he stays with quick receivers where ever they go he is pretty much right in their pocket, and then also his ability to get out of his breaks and make plays on the ball that way...they both do things that are very valuable the question is what do you really prefer...when i watched film initially I thought by first glance that Jones might be alittle long but Wilson is a bit bigger...they both will come up and pop ball carriers but Wilson may be a bit tougher/meaner as well

First impressions of Lattimore are that he is definitely a good to great FOOTBALL player. He seems to be a very smart defensive player, he seems to always be in the right spot and position to make a play and he finishes plays off and makes the plays. But I am just not in love with his overall physical and athletic traits. His size seems to be good...he seems a bit thicker than some other corners and its almost like it weighs him down a bit...you see him getting out jumped for balls alot and he doesn't really go straight up and high point when he plays the ball instead its almost like he is jumping into the receiver or falling into them. He swats the ball away more times that he goes up to high point and intercept the ball, unless it is thrown right to him. He did have some pix 6s and he does look good with the ball in his hands so im not saying he is not athletic but he just seems a bit thick and stiff to me at first glance. Solid, smart football player but im not sure thats what i want at 16.

...and I do not like how YOU are just ASSUMING that this year's draft will be another waste...this notion that this organization cannot draft anymore is ridiculous. They added about 5 or 6 big time contributors to the roster through this past draft or UDFA (Stanley, Lewis, Young, Dixon, Judon, Pierce) and another in Chris Moore who has some tremendous contributions to special teams. Young and Pierce all season long graded out near the top of list of rookies and Stanley when he finally got healthy was one of the top left tackles in all of football over the last half of the season, yes all of football. Do me a favor go back to the 2013 draft and look at alll the busts that came out of that first round along with M Elam. It all adds up, have we missed on some of our higher picks, yes we have but so have alot of other great drafting organizations...but we have hit on a ton of 3-6 rounders that have become big time contributors To say welp, here comes another wasted draft this year because we didn't fire Ozzie Newsome, is very baltimoronical of you.

I waited all year to finally track you down JoeyFlex...before i can take you seriously you need to clarify how WRONG you were about Jalen Ramsey...you basically said he would not translate well to the NFL game....welp looks like that was a big mistake lol

Yeah SB was definitely referring to last 6 games of LAST YEAR, when we actually graded out near the top in terms of the secondary, and Wright was playing fairly well

A few short quick things after watching today...Ramsey is the biggest longest guy out there, who ran one of the fastest forty times among a group of dbs that did not impress speed wise...at one point deon was getting after them and trying to pick them up...the biggest thing...for those of you on here that questioned Ramsey's footwook..and there are those of you on here who crucified him for it..I watched multiple drills that tested his footwork and he was constantly complimented...most notably for his back pedal and break up field footwork where the coaches on the field yelled "that's how its done!" while Mayock was also complimenting on it as well. Not the end all be all as its just the combine but just points to how silly some of the pre combine talk is.

OK so what you are saying is you want to have Ramsey up as a press cover corner in passing situations and all the time in a nickel or dime D? Lol I have been saying from the beginning that if we took Ramsey we could seemingly do all types of fun stuff with him. But my question is...why is everyone so afraid to draft him to be a press corner? Everyone wants to move him to SS so fast. Which is another thing I don't understand, why do we assume SS when all the gurus are saying he has the best range of any corner safety lately and could be a great FS in the league. To me yeah he could play either FS or SS but we have strong safeties and I think he could be more impactful at FS. But for me...I want this guy to be that Seahawk type big press corner. I think he can be that guy and that is a huge need for this team.

I think we would be extremely lucky to get this guy at #6, I think his play making potential is what this defense needs and more importantly the overall TEAM as well. We need a play making defensive back on this team, and Ramsey can make impact plays all over the field in more ways than 1. I will admit I do fall in love with prospects during pre draft time and I get stuck on us wanting one guy and more times than not we take my guy. I wanted Jimmy badly and was pumped when we got him..it worked out. On the flip side, I loved Elam...it was tough to get really excited bc we picked so late that year but I really wanted Elam and I was pumped that we took him...that one didn't look like it worked out too well...Having said that it seems like even though there is some negativity surrounding Ramsey atleast within this fan base, he appears to be maybe even moving up ranks within high profile scouts. Bucky Brooks just came out with a top 32 prospect list last night...which Jalen Ramsey leads the list at #1...if you don't like Bucky then turn your head to Mr. Daniel Jeremiah who has Ramsey listed as his #2 prospect...fellas this isn't at his position either, its overall prospect.

I don't see Alexander as a top 10 player at all...but I thought we were talking about Alexander here and he is most definitely not a safety.

Who are you referencing when you say we have enough Cbs lol? Okay Jimmy Smith locked in as one starter...who is starting opposite of him with Webb going back to safety. Yeah Wright came in and progressed well but I am not saying he is an answer. I don't feel great about him being a starting CB for us next year. Will Davis showed promise but is coming back from another knee injury. Tray Walker didn't show me much. We need a corner. And we don't just need 1 we need a good 1 and a couple at that. We need a difference maker at the corner position. Jimmy is supposed to be that guy but was underwhelming last year. Even if he is at the top of his game you still need another play making corner opposite of him. What I am looking for his two bigger longer corners on the outside and a quick twitch slot corner.
