My money is on Kevin Johnson in the 1st.

Kevin Johnson just makes too much sense. First he is your prototypical size at CB, he is a ball hawk and a great all around corner, if he is there, he might very well be BPA at our pick. Not only that but if Norman has another good year he could command a pretty sizeable contract.

I see Norman as this year's Greg Hardy (minus the off field stuff ofcourse) in that he might just be one of those really good players that Gman just isnt willing to break the bank for.

Kevin Johnson is Josh Norman insurance. Not to mention Norman is 27 going on 28 while Kevin Johnson will be only 23 by the time the NFL season starts and will be cheaper by a wide margin on his rookie deal. In my mind Kevin Johnson just makes too much sense. Great size, great CB and might very well be BPA. Picking him would have a ripple effect, not only will we be getting a great CB, we will have a lot of cap savings in having him replace a older Josh Norman at fraction of the cost. Oh and we also visited with him twice.

I'm not even sure he'll be there at 25. Also, he is a pretty terrible tackler and I don't know how much Gettleman values that in a CB. Could drop him down our board a bit if he really values that.

Couldn't disagree more about his tackling skills. He's a very good all around player.

But I don't take Wake Forest players high. They usually don't improve much in the pros. KJ has been at Wake now five years and he probably understands the game as well as you could expect. Physically, he won't get much stronger. And mentally, I don't think there is a lot of room for improvement. Wake prepares their kids well, even as talent deficient as they are.

Bottom line-- WF players almost always disappoint in the pros. Aaron Curry, Alphonso Smith, Chris Givens, Brandon Ghee, Kenny Moore, the list goes on and on.

This makes no sense.

 

Hardy's off field stuff is the reason Gettleman (and the rest of the league) "just isn't willing to break the bank".

 

You can't say Norman is this year's Hardy "minus the off field stuff" because then there is no comparison.

      Dave Canales says Jalen Coker is our tentative #2 next season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.

      And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited
