Maybe we'd go back to quicker CBs like Hayden was supposed to be. That's not a bad idea either. Thankfully, I think Conley can play any scheme and Carrie has solidified himself at the very least as a "decent" starter. We need to keep Amerson/bring in a free agent, AND draft a corner in the first 3 rounds. Minkah Fitzpatrick is my favorite DB. If we somehow land him, I'll be very pleased.

Dude I was literally just thinking that about those 2. Conley can even play off man with his length and mobility. For crying out loud he's a press man CB who can't jam and STILL is successful haha. Carrie is p versatile too. Can be a good 3, spot starter, and PR if we get sick of Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roi34 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 raiders need a big time pass rusher too. maybe bring bowman back for min. but we need to grab a stud dlineman. cb obviously but with better scheme pur cbs will be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conley and Fitzpatrick could be special. However, the lack of a pass rush wouldn't allow this to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to project this far away from the draft, but I'd much rather go after a guy like Jaire Alexander or Tavaris McFadden in round 2 after taking a pass rusher in round 2.

big_palooka Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Minkah Fitzpatrick is a safety. Are some suggesting draft him at corner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big_palooka Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Raquon Smith in round 2 for me. Reminds me a lot of Levonte David. Been a beast for UGA this season. Landry... I'm skeptical. Good player. Suspect against the run. Not a great pass rusher. His team mate, Zach Allen is a better player. Plays the run well, good first step on pass rush. Stronger.

I disagree on Landry as a pass rusher (I don’t have an opinion on him as a run defender). Landry is very strong and flexible. He has both an inside and outside move and uses his arms and hands well enough for a collegiate player. Injuries have derailed his 2017 campaign but I saw enough of him in 2016 to trust his talent.

He played corner in high school. Played corner as a freshman. Moved to safety last year because Eddie Jackson got hurt. At the sart of this year he moved back to corner until the other corners on the team could handle the position (they had only played nickel previously). Saban moves Fitz because he CAN play everywhere and no one else on the team can but he is best at corner, like it more and is more comfortable there. Here is an article that goes into what I'm saying with more detail... https://www.seccountry.com/alabama/minkah-fitzpatrick-nick-saban-cornerback-spring-practice-alabama Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich7sena Posted November 20, 2017 Author Share Posted November 20, 2017 I’m not sold Minkah is a natural corner. He seems to thrive when in the slot, in zone, and reacting against the run. He reminds me of Micah Hyde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has man coverage skills that aid him in the slot, is good in zone because he is very athletic and a student of the game and good vs the run because of his size and aggressive play style. Those things are also what makes him able to move from one DB position to another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
