Re: DRC!!!

I was deadset against us taking anything but a WR in the first round fot awhile, now I am starting to warm up to the idea of taking a CB (DRC) I was looking at the list of guys a WR and CB that will be available through the first 3 rounds or so and it is my opinion that WR is deeper then CB is this year. I am also starting to like Bowman an aweful lot, we can probably pick him up in the 3rd round.

Give me DRC, Kelly, or Sweed and I will be happy

Re: DRC!!!

i felt the same way.....nothing other than a WR (Swees) in the first round....but following the combine and hearing DEION SANDERS say nothing but good things about DRC's technique im all for him in the first round....grab Devin Thomas in the second and a TE in the third

Re: DRC!!!

Dont buy the hype, DRC is fast, big and Athletic. That said I think he is the 5th best corner in this years draft. Taking a player who played I-AA Ball with the 11th pick is Insane to me. He didnt play in the SEC, he played in the Ohio Valley Conference. Going from playing Southeast Missouri State University to the NE Patriots is a pretty big jump. Granted Usama Young came out of Kent State last year and did ok, but he wasnt a top 10(errrr 11) draft pick. This is a player who is still very raw and has questions marks against him in the running game. DRC is not worth the 11th pick, i dont care what anyone says.

Re: DRC!!!

so u think the best corner to ever play the game doesnt notice a special talent at the position that he played?

Re: DRC!!!

I would take the word of a guy that studied what a player has done in september through december over a fromer player that saw him run and jump in shorts and a tshirt, yes.

Re: DRC!!!

I thought I would put this here for those who don't go to the scouting zone...

"In 39 starts for the Tigers, opposing quarterbacks completed just 55 of 161 passes (34.16%) thrown in Rodgers-Cromartie's immediate area. He intercepted 11 of those throws, deflected 25 and held the opposition to a miniscule 3.54 yards per pass attempt, the best of any collegiate defensive back over the last three seasons."

http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/...omartie?id=306

Defensive TDs that he scored his freshman year = 3
TDs given up all four years as a CB = 3
INCREDIBLE

He was randomly asked by the Patriots to draw up a defense at his combine interview....

"They were the first team that made me draw something up with them. It threw me off guard a little bit," said Rodgers-Cromartie. "I was expecting to answer personal questions like everybody else was asking me and then you get 'Draw a defense up for me' and it threw me off guard."


Cromartie said he drew up a Cover-2 scheme.

Im pretty sure it doesnt matter what level of college ball you play as long as you have the skills to play at the next level. Just a few examples of players that didnt play D-1A and turned out to be pretty good pros

Jerry rice - Miss. Valley St.
Andre Reed - Kutztown
Terrell Owens - Tennesee-Chattanooga

Re: DRC!!!

Sweed is the number one WR by far.

[WillsFromThaU21]

Re: DRC!!!

thanks ferrygoat that was my next arguement.....those three didnt turn out bad at all....

[Nighthawk]

Re: DRC!!!

Sweed is the number one WR by far.

Agreed.

Re: DRC!!!

Personally I would do this in the draft

R1. Dominique Rogers-Cromartie CB
R2. Dre Moore DL, who can upgrade on Williams, learn from Stoud and can also play outside being considerable quickler than Calais Campbell
R3. Adarius Bowman WR
R4. If we sign Ben Troupe then a DE, if not the the best TE left probably either Kellen Davis TE or John Carlson TE

Adarius Bowman is not a high character player that this FO has been recruiting to be on the team. I can almost guarantee he will not be picked by us.

I think we will go, DRC (CB) for rd 1, a WR (James Hardy ?) rd 2, and top TE (Martellus Bennett?) in rd 3, and then a top Center in rd 4.
