Physically he already pretty much is. Athletically he’s an anomaly. If there’s nothing Pitts can’t do from an offensive standpoint, that’s basically what Horn is on the defensive side of the ball. He’s a physical freak. As long as he’s willing to learn and improve his technique, sky is the limit. Because he already has the tools that can’t be taught to be an all time great. He’s fast, strong, twitchy and fearless 

He's the defensive version of Pitts.

He’s got a lot of nasty and swagger in the way he plays but he also seems to show humility and a willingness to learn and improve. It’s the right balance. I was already on board with him before but as usual during the draft process, I’ve spent literal hours watching interviews with him throughout the last year. His personality is clearly another huge factor to Rhule. This guy wants to be the best CB in the league. It’s a pride thing. That is his goal. That’s exciting. I am very happy to have this guy here

The thing is he could be the best.

I like him. Good and humble, but incredibly confident young man.

I like the 'come with an open cup' philosophy. Watching his progress from year to year, you can really see him internalize that already. 

Dudes going to be a stud.

Did we forget we also got bouye who is going to be on the other side of the field?

I like Jenkins but I also like Eichenberg and Cosmi. Elijah Moore would be hard to pass on, as well. 
And Dickerson is the best player available. It’s just a matter of how you feel about his injury concerns. 

Cosmi has some serious potential. Guy reacts fast and has some great awareness of poo happening around him. He's quick for a big guy too. Just needs some weight on him.

That Grant is like a sniper. You never see him or hear him coming. All that happens is your drive just drops dead.

Not at all like the junk yard dog horn we got yesterday.

That defense would be lethal.

You've got to trust your board. Otherwise, what's the point of it?

Dude definitely has a lot of fight in him. He plays angry and with something to prove, but he's also very much in control. 

Yes, he got a bit handsy and got a few flags, but he'll frustrate the hell out of whoever he covers and control them on the field. He won't get much in the way of numbers, but that's because the QB won't have much of any windows to throw into so the QB will just have to find another option to throw to.

He'll get picked on and tested early on, but QBs will learn to throw at someone else.

I don't worry about him covering any player, especially any big receiver. He's up to it and he'll shut them down.

It's PFF. If it isn't naked stats they are more likely to be wrong then anything else. Their opinions are so touted now but largely crap. 

Also, for a site that gives fake grades they give an average for a grade? Just lol

Yep. I used them a lot when I played FFB years back just because they had the best data. 

I liked that all they did was stats. Interpretation of those stats has been a massive fail.

They didn't have the personnel for man coverage so they didn't run it...but they wanted to.

Now they do... so they will.

Shouldn't be this complicated.

It makes me uncomfortable because I had wanted this year to be all about that offense, but I'm kind of getting obsessed with this idea of a defense that completely shuts down any offense. 

Lockdown defense will make it a lot easier for our offense. Better field position, less pressure to score, etc. And we've got big time playmakers on offense to score when we need.

Yes we need help at LT and OG and ...well...OC. and yes, Darnold is nothing but a big '?' 

There's still more opportunities to improve the OL and this defense along with CMC and the receiver corps will give Darnold plenty of real chances to succeed. 

Some good stuff in here. I always had a lot of respect for Taylor as a player. Seems he's got some big respect for Horn.

Need to give those hamsters a raise

Chinn is okay, but having an elite secondary doesn't win too many games.

7-10 next season with Darnold being the whipping boy.

Having an elite secondary on an elite defense does.

Wouldn't be surprised. I think it will be Darrisaw if we do trade back in.

Too bad he got smoked by the guy our division rival took.

Too bad for that guy our division rival got, we have chinn.

Stud defense just got studlier.

Yeah...I wish we had gotten Sewell and rolling with Darnold makes me nervous, but at least we didn't get mac.

We get "stuck" at 8 and get "stuck" with either horn or surtain. Not what I want, but I'm not going to cry over getting stuck with an elite cb or any other elite prospect we can get in the top half of the draft.

Blind squirrel finds a nut.

Please panthers don't take mac.

Chinn vs Pitts for the next 10 years will be fun

What I was going to say. 

Pitts is a monster, but there's always a bigger one and we've got him.

Whoa.

Maybe mac to atl?
