Instincts are crucial for corners, especially in a zone heavy scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me I think its the 49ers at 12th overall. Unless someone past that comes calling with a huge offer which would have to include a 1st next year. I would say 12th @ Worst - But 9th @ best just to pick ahead of DAL and NYG. The order of who i want in the 1st: Chase , Parsons, Pitts, Smith , Sewell Its basically Jamar Chase vs Micah Parsons for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is what we're going to be running a lot of. It'll allow him to bully guys at the line and disrupt routes without having to carry the receiver deep with speed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he's smart enough to be able to jump routes crossing into his zone. He's not a bad athlete, he's just not in the elite tier of athletes.

He's probably better than average, but he's certainly not "shutdown" anymore. Edited March 10, 2021 by Jeezla 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be weird that we could become a wayward home for old corners now. Like if we weren't so cash strapped I could actually see Peterson coming here. It's like the opposite of Schwartz putting guys out on islands all the time. Guys like Mills and Rasul make way more sense in this than they did Jim's scheme. We just gotta see if Howie will invest in drafting some safeties. McLeod, Maddox, Wallace won't be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll invest in a safety come draft - it will be a safety that's projected to get a tryout in the FCF that he'll take in the second round, but he will invest in the position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wondering if Maddox goes back or if they sign a guy like Malik Hooker to a middle loaded deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we cut Rodney? We need to if we didn't. Maddox is a guy who should never start at any position. We need to draft Paris Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, with our new defense, I feel like it can be ran successfully with lesser talented guys. So maybe that'd be almost a luxury pick when taking account of the defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
