Didn't Darby struggle in coverage last year, especially in the playoffs? 

Not sure, but he was coming off an injury that sat him for 2 months early in the season.  He returned week 11, I think.

Just for paper reasons, can someone post the PFF grades of worley and darby please?

Darby - 84.2 (23rd CB)

Bradberry - 42.4 (109th CB)

Worley - 58.9 (89th CB)

 

FWIW, Darby's grade was listed as above average.

I looked up his PFF numbers...according to their system he actually played pretty well.

Let's see.

1. Still better than Worley.

2. Only one million dollars.

3. They won the fuging super bowl, so they did something right.

Imagine him with a team that gets more pressure than the eagles did? Jesus Bradberry was worse than worley when bradberry was a top one the year before on PFF. How much did he fall? We need veteran corners. Would be much cheaper than Fuller.

The Eagles had a pretty impressive pass rush.  But I honestly think Bradberry's falloff last year was due to poor safety play.  He was always close by with tight coverage, but allowed the catch because he was never positioned to jump routes.  It was almost as if he played soft because he knew if he did let the WR by, it was a TD (with such poor safety talent behind him).  He just didn't seem confident at all.

Imagine if we could draft james trade for darby our secondary would be set

A third is too rich in my opinion---in this draft, you can get an equally-skilled CB with a low-cost, 4-year contract with that third. 

Does having an extra third help?

No. You're wrong.

He thinks all things can be answered through the draft b/c he still thinks we can resign norwell and star.

Well with a lousy free agent class and very little cap space, there's not as many options.

[Smithers]

I wish Elder would have gotten more reps last year, allowing us to see what we have there.

We could cut Sheppard and trade for Darby and still gain $1M in cap space lol. Considering how cheap his contract is, we can still spend big on a WR in FA. I like the idea of trading up for Derwin James too if he falls within range.

Sign a FA WR, bring back Peppers and maybe sign Vinny Curry when he’s cut, trade for Darby, trade up for Derwin James and draft a RB in the 2nd. That’s a crazy good offseason. Too good to be true.

The other question I have is how much is he going to command when he hits FA?

who said we have very little cap space? we can afford 2-3 people and if we go after darby with one of our thirds, it would cost next to nothing.
