Why didn't we draft this guy?

Explain it to me. We needed a Corner, we still do. Except we draft a RB who can't run in our system. I'm eating sour grapes right now because Dave Gettleman &$@∆ed us hard. For a team that always goes for an elite defense we really changed our drafting this year and went offense. It completely screwed us.

He was higher on our board than CMC, but there was concern over his hamstrings and long term durability.

Bradberry > Lattimore 

We gonna see the Saints again in the playoffs  expect a different result.

3x is the charm as they say. 

Need Falcons to do it again , while we sweep them.

Yeah, he had, like, 84 touchdowns against us.

Wait, no, he didn't. He didn't do squat.

Stop that, Lattimore is the best young corner in the division.

Hell next season he might be the best.

Why is this board so damn negative? I am going to a funeral on Saturday, and I bet there will be more positive attitudes there. It is getting to be borderline ridiculous. Nothing that happens is good enough, every team is better than us. We are 8-4 with a good chance to go to 9-4 but if you just read this board you would think we were fighting with the Browns for the 1st draft pick.

Because for some reason everyone thought Bradberry and Worley were going to be our corners for the next decade.

This. Everyone thought Bradberry was the best corner ever. Really you all used him to make yourself feel better about Norman. BTW if Captain can come back here, so can Norman, and it might not be too late when that contract is up.

Cause if we did take Lattimore, ya'll would be bitching about how we did not give Cam weapons. 

 

 

Not really because we needed a corner that could annoy WR's and give them problems when ball was thrown and we would have had a defensive weapon added to the roster. The defense needs some help also not just offensive side and to fill a needed plug to fix a hole in the defense with a CB.

    • I'm not sure how much I'm changing mid year, especially when we are seeing some success.    Most Pass Rushers are physically gifted. Scheme and personnel help, but you gotta have the Jimmys and Joes, especially at that position.    We will likely lose games when the other team can throw for 400 yards, and has multiple high level receivers, but I think at this point in the development of our franchise, we have to be ok with that. You can't address every single issue at once. Really looks like we have plugged some holes on offense, and definitely in run defense. In the next draft, if we hit on a CB, an ILB and a Pass rusher, we will be pretty dangerous.
    • No, stay the course, add via FA / Draft.
    • His route running was not very good in this game, especially when compared to the previous week. There were at least three playactions ran where I couldn't tell if he was going to be pass blocking or running a route with how little effort he ran with. They also dinged him for the fumble on the play where XL lateraled to him. 29.8 fumble grade, 6.1 pass block grade, and 40.0 receiving grade really hurt his overall score. Personally, I'd have put him in the mid-to-high 70s on the day. I don't think his receiving grade should've been 40.0 but can see an argument for in the 50s. Maybe his pass blocking grade could've also been in the teens since he did win on the final rep handily.   Just re-watched the receiving TD for Rico and it was a hideous route. DaRon Bland left his zone to cover over top of TMac though which left the area wide open for Rico to get to. Very surprised that they gave Bland a 66.5 coverage grade as I recall him getting picked on a couple of times (and giving up the 4th down throw to Renfrow by giving an incredibly soft cushion).
