And it starts with a pretty appropriate cautionary tale.  Gilbert had perfect measurable for CB position and ran a 4.37 at the Combine.  He also wasn't just a workout wonder.  He had excellent production at Oklahoma State and  intercepted a ton of passes in his time there.  Those of us who watch draft breakdown video cut ups would likely have drooled over the kid, like we are others this year.

in the end, he failed because of attitude and desire.  We can't measure it, so we don't see it.  Thankfully we now have a GM that is thorough enough that I have confidence he would adequately vet prospects like Gilbert.

A guy I'm intrigued by that I didn't know was headed to FA is Martellus Bennett. Not sure about his blocking skills but he and Walker could be a two headed monster. If JRob isn't looking to add a TE in the draft, he should pursue Marty B. 

can't see JRob going anywhere near him, very outspoken and has a habbit of being a distraction.

had to laugh when he made a comment today about how much money he was going to get paid because SB Champions always get overpaid.

Not all

i didn't want Gilbert. He screamed bust. 

Just like Humphrey this year who I think many are over projecting and goes in the 2-3 round

I think Tankersley, Jones, Lattimore and Tabor are the premier CBs in this draft and will all be lockdown cover corners

LOL. Kyle loves every player at draft time and then claims he's right no matter what

Damnit! I was caught!

lol

All seriousness I loved Dennard coming out. 

I don't want to look at what I wrote bc I'm scared I really did like Gilberts measurables at one point. However I do remember doing a complete 180 on him and wanting nothing to do with him. 

He had all the athletic ability and stats. Then everything came out closer to the draft of him being a knucklehead 

i was steadfast on Dennard and still think he will grow to be a very good cover corner. 

Could be a wrong scheme/player thing. 

I was right about Gilbert needing polishing though

*edit

At least I was correct about Joyner and the other cat named Barr
