    I'm guessing Jacksonville signed him gambling that he could be a #1 and admittedly with iffy results, he was still above average in my opinion though. I thinks he's a fantastic #2 though and that's what he is for my team, Norman will shadow other teams' #1 receiver and leave House with the #2

    I think you've got a steal there if the coaches come to their senses.  Especially as a 2nd cb, I think he'd be great.

    Why wouldn't he start? I don't see any CBS on the roster that are better than him. Take away the game against Hopkins and he played very well last year. Even if the Jags intend to play Ramsey at CB (which I seriously doubt and I think it would be a serious mistake) House would probably still get the nod on experience alone

    They just spent a lot of money to bring Prince in.  Plus Ramsey and Colvin.   I agree it was just one game, and it was Hopkins, but he got crucified for it locally.  
    And then in October, he actually said he wasn't the starter anymore.    I think it was a lot of overreaction to one game.  He did get himself out of the dog house and had a great year.  But then with their offseason moves.... I think there's more drama yet to come.

    I am concerned yes, but I think with enough solid talent around him (like Linsley) and development (he's only 23) he can do just fine, especially since he's shown such potential already.

    Madden 2016 is calling him above average in both already.  Blocking is higher, but passing is still.... a passing grade.  Heh. 

    So you've got a really nice pick there.

    I really debated Nelson because he had that great year last year, but then he went and sat on the market for a bit. Have to wonder why.

    Love the Rankins pick; he'd have been mine.

    I'm assuming age vs. money, right?  It's hard to sign a 32 year old DB to a long contract.  I'm guessing his age is the only reason he lasted this long.  Short term, he's a steal.

  5. So just out of curiosity, I looked up Orr's rankings on PFF.   I'm a little surprised to see that coverage was his worst skill last year.  Could be a fluke or a small sample size.  But overall he wasn't awful at anything, just no skills that would stand out.  Overall he had a higher ranking than a number of starters (including Mosley).  Their rankings make it clear that it's his job to lose, but he still might not be what we want.

    I would not put Brock over most of those guys. He hasn't shown that much and it's telling Elway didn't want to roll with him. To me there's one QB available who sticks out like a sore thumb. 

    I think I know who you mean.  Either I just missed it when he was taken, or someone is getting a steal.
