Here's a question for you...

 

...if you had the choice in the 2nd of either Jacob Rodriguez or Kionte Scott, who do you choose?

 

Me? While I think Rodriguez might be a slightly better prospect, who helps the defense (and Cam) more? I think having the law offices of Taylor, Flott, & Scott out there challenging Cam every practice may actually be a bigger boost. Iron sharpening iron and all that.

 

I forget who I was listening to, I think it was the guys on Check the Mic or maybe Nate Tice, but they said something interesting. Basically that CBs have the shortest peak of any position. 1-2 years. The top tier of CBs also rotates more than any other spot. So an appropriate goal for the position is to just bring in guys that you know can play and start in the NFL, are healthy, and arent past their physical primes.

 

 There's also plenty on the market every year that you can pay, but its worth the premium at the spot. Its super hard to project CBs, the hitrate isnt great, and leg injuries - even small ones - often completely derail careers. 

 

SO.. I'd go Rodriguez.  Its more of an immediate need anyhow. I do miss the pac man and rolle days with playmaking CBs but even Pac was known to blow coverages. Getting a guy that completely erases a WR is near impossible and incredibly short lived. Raise the floor and impact the area in front of and around the QBs first.

I like the idea of finding a Fred Warner for Saleh's D. Rodriguez would be a good fit. Scott is also going to be a 25 year old rookie.

Between 2020 and 2024.

Trey benson 6' 215 4.39

Isaac Gurendo 6' 220 4.33

Pierre Strong 5'11 207 4.37

Ty Chandler 5'11 205 4.38

Devonte Pierce 6'1 215 4.38

 

Love is 6' 215 4.36, everyone one of thoae guys is an ok or worse back within 1in,  10pounds and 3 hundredths of a second from him. I didnt use players from last year out of fairness. 

 

again so? 

you can add or delete all the pure ht weight 40 guys you want. When you do actual stat and player comparisons... you are looking at top of the league and all-time guys across the board for love and like 1-3 really good players among a seas of solid for Tate. 

 

You know thats the point so not sure why you are sticking with this route.

i didnt even look at scotts age. I think Rodriguez is a little bit older but not much as he played 5 years.

Rodriguez turns 24 the week before the season kicks off.

It is also where the last of the plug and play G are expected to go. 

 

Question is with the vacant RG spot and the 30 visit with Bisontis the multiple sit downs with Rutledge is Borgonzi positioning himself to find the long term fix there rather than patching it for another year with a veteran.

I don't get the sense we're as locked into a position in round 2 as we were last year when it seemed like it was going to be EDGE.

 

It might just come down to BPA at a need spot. Maybe they'll take one of the G if they are there. Or the LB. Or if one of the WR slips. I think Borg is keeping it open.

First thing is waiting and seeing who slips to pick #35 every year there are a couple of players that slip into the early 2nd round that aren't expected to make it out of the first round.

No disagreements here, really. Only one small pushback is that Scott wouldn't really be an outside receiver as he'd probably be seen as a NB, shutdown down the slot area or maybe doubling as the 3rd safety. I don't think we'd envision him as an outside corner.

 

But it would be very hard for me to say no to Rodriguez. He's probably my favorite defender for us to target in the 2nd round if he's gets there. But Scott has been a topic lately as a nickel we could plug in.

How in the world did that go unknown regarding Bain for 2 years?

Add ESPN's Kevin Clark to the growing group who think things are trending towards the Jets taking Bailey at #2.

As they should.  The best edge or OT should go after QB worthy picks.  
 

So happy we beat the Chiefs…

 

Forgot to post above, so if Bailey and Reese go two and three take Tate at 4 if can’t trade back.  Take Rodriguez in two, G in 3 and edge in 4.  I figure Borg is going to trade back at least once on day 1 or 2.

I’m guessing it happened in Athens.  Lots of things kept quiet at GA.  I kid, I kid, kinda…

I mentioned the longevity of cbs before we traded for sneed. Didn't think we would get the guy from kc for more than a year or 2 but didn't see the total implosion coming.
