Re: 2nd Round Pick is Ronaldo Darby

defense was probably our worst side of the ball last year. I think it needed some serious upgrading......

being extremely sarcastic for those of you who didn't figure it out.

Re: 2nd Round Pick is Ronaldo Darby

STRENGTHS: While perhaps slightly shorter than preferred, Darby possesses a solid build with good overall weight distribution. Excellent timed speed that translates well to the field. Has a low, quick backpedal and has fluid hips that allow him to turn and easily run with even explosive receivers. Doesn't rely on a jam at the line of scrimmage to slow receivers but will deliver one on occasion, showing a good, physical pop to disrupt timing with the quarterback. Good patience in off-coverage, showing the poise to allow receivers to commit to deep routes before turning to transition. Improved awareness in coverage, showing a quick burst to break on the ball and good hand-eye coordination to slap away passes.
Isn't the most physical corner in run support but showed improved grit in 2014. Willing to lower his shoulder into ball-carriers and is a generally reliable open-field tackler. An immediate standout at Florida State and steadily improved throughout his career. Could be just scratching the surface of his potential.
WEAKNESSES: Showed improved awareness in 2014 but remains a better athlete than football player at this time. Too often relies on his speed to cover receivers, losing technique by allowing receptions on underneath routes too often.
Some question as to his real physicality. Was more willing to lower a shoulder into ball-carriers but will do some standing around the pile and let teammates do the dirty work, on occasion. Only two interceptions in three seasons at Florida State.
Comes with some character red flags. Was part of the rape investigation involving teammate Jameis Winston and was placed under review by Florida State's Code of Conduct policy which initially accused Darby and another teammate of "conduct of a sexual nature that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment." None of the players were ultimately charged.

Re: 2nd Round Pick is Ronaldo Darby

So, we pick up Gilmore's option then use our best draft pick on a CB. Brilliant.

This FO is valuing skill positions more than the trenches. We've been down this road before......
