    We should clarify that Powers, Young, and Arrington are all slot corners, so they wouldn't really pose a threat.

    Not to mention out of the 3 left mentioned, 2 are rookies in Canady and UDFA Sam Brown, and the last one is Julian Wilson who is practically a rookie too considering he was on IR since well before preseason last year

    Carter would be great right now if he weren't literally always injured, that probably really stunted his growth as a player - and last year in Tampa was his year to really prove himself outside of Dallas and he really didn't seize that opportunity. I still like him as a player plenty and was thinking of taking him with my next pick - though I think I have decided on someone else even before Carter was taken.

    I wanna see Will Davis make the team. Even though it was only a very small sample size, I was really impressed with the energy and technique he played with last season. I know the Ravens have made some additions to the position but I think Davis could be a long term piece to the puzzle. He just turned 26 so I think he's still young enough to overcome the major knee injuries he's suffered in his career. I definitely want to see how this kid handles himself this year. 

    I think Davis has a really good shot, we don't have many outside corners behind Smith and Wright - and I know Canady has been impressing but I won't be comfortable with him being #3 on the depth chart. He played good in his very, very small sample size, he's worth giving a shot and I'd wager he will make the final 53,

    My go to for the past couple years has been Jeremy Butler, I think this board sleeps on him too much. He's in the mold of Aiken - UDFA, big, reliable hands, good body control - and with all the speed we have at the wideout position this year we could use another guy to abuse the middle of the field, and between him and Aiken I'm not sure who's better after the catch, I'm tempted to give Butler the edge. After being activated from the PS last year he gave a glimpse of what he's capable of given the chance. With Camp never being healthy I think Butler has a very, very good chance of beating him out for a spot.

    My second choice has to be Taliaferro. If the guy could just stay healthy then I think he'd be a very good back by now. Not a fast guy but he's very quick hitting the hole when he sees it and brings good power to the run game - he's very similar to Alfred Morris. But there's no double standard here, I say all the time that Camp shouldn't make the team because it doesn't matter how good you are if you're never on the field, the same should be true of all players including Tali. Our backfield is loaded and it'll be interesting to see how it shakes out, can we afford to carry 4? I'm not so sure but if we go with Forsett, Buck, and Dixon, we are sort of missing a power/short yardage back (Dixon brings some power but he's definitely not a short yardage back),  It really sucks to sit back and watch Forsett come in on short yardage situations and get stuffed 90% of the time.

    Bowles coached a Jets team that looked like it was going to be god awful - and the Geno Smith incident before the season didn't help - to 10-6 on the season. He obviously can handle pressure leading a Jets team with lots of ego and being under a microscope like a coach in NYC will always be, and having a "meh" QB doesn't help things along. He patched up a defense that the so-called "defensive guru" Rex Ryan struggled to keep together. Looking at my team I am pretty heavily leaning defense so I think the best move is to hand over the keys to an up-and-comer defensive minded head coach like Bowles, with 12 HCs off the board I don't think Bowles would have made it to my next pick.

    Nice picks. Thimas is going to be a good player and might have the most impact of any rookie receiver. I like Flowers value now as well. 

    I mean the best "all things considered" like age and stuff like that, on my board I have a couple that are better options immediately but they've both got their own red flags and are older. Amaro is young and already solid with room to improve, that's what I mean.
