Like the pick. Our biggest needs were LT, CB and S. We got one of the best 2 cbs in the draft and a lock down corner. Our Defense is getting salty. Need an OT in the second. Some think we needed a player or two. We are a draft or 2 away. Im good with building. Hate we didn't get Sewell

Corner is a tough position, if he's a lockdown guy then it's a great pick.  The last lockdown CB I can think of who had an instant impact from the top 10 is maybe Lattimore like 4 years ago.  And I think he's actually regressed since then.  Hoping this guy can break the cycle

 

edit- actually, Lattimore was 11th.  Either way, the pick is done, go Jaycee Horn!

Corner was our second biggest need behind LT.  It sucks we didn't get Sewell, but this was a huge need.  I've mocked a CB in the 2nd round the majority of the time.  Almost exclusively in the 2nd round since we acquired Darnold and took QB off our list as the biggest need.

Hopefully he can beat the odds of being a top 10 corner pick. It's been rough looking back at how highly drafted corners have been busting.

I don't really understand the pick from a team building stand point. I guess they must be sold on Darnold, God help us, because this will make any chance of grabbing a quarterback very difficult in the future. Building the defense first without a quarterback is something well documented. Though maybe we can pull of a 49er's trade in a few years too.

Horn ran a 4.39 40-yard dash, jumped 41.5 and 133 inches on the vertical and broad jump, respectively, and put up 19 reps on the bench press, all after measuring in at 6-1 and 205 pounds.

A few of us were saying we needed to get a CB1 in round 1.  We did. Where did we get better?

#1 CB

#2 CB

S

Defensive pass rush.

If we take Horn at 8 then we're going sub.500. We don't have the o-line to protect a terrified Darnold (he throws picks and turkeys when he's scared) and we're not getting what we need in the later rounds. You have to think passing offense first. The rest is secondary, including the secondary. It won't matter at all when Horn is racking up pass interference calls in the 4th quarter against Brady. You'll want to bust your tv watching that. We have to be much smarter than that.

Sadly this sounds very accurate.  Down 3 scores, Horn and Donte Jackson compete at the end of the game for who can pick up the dumbest penalty, likely after the whistle.

      I understand why your brain translates "cool, calm, and collected" into a pejorative like "boring milquetoast" since you're genuinely the polar opposite of cool calm and collected, as someone who awkwardly escalates every innocuous statement into multi-paragraph performative rants as if someone just slapped your mother.  I assure you that well-adjusted people do not consider that to be an insult in the real world...not ass-backwards Internet Land where it's cool and trendy to be a Debbie Downer and being "too positive" is thrown around as a slur.  I remember you bragging about taking two days away from these boards as if that was a big accomplishment for you, which was eye-opening to say the least.  I genuinely hope this is just some internet character you're playing, because the way you act on these boards would be objectively so off-putting in the real world.  I've known a couple people like this and it's always incredibly socially awkward and sucks the energy out of the room; these are the people who don't get invited out to social events. But instead of properly absorbing and learning from these social cues in person, you're being enabled by your fellow gloomy weird internet friends here which only encourages you to spend more and more of your time online to get the approval you crave.  Just some life advice, my friend...since I'm assuming you are very young.  Don't spend all of your time in here.  There's a whole world out there with real people and meaningful connections.  And despite what the internet has taught you, being pleasant is a good thing. Btw it's really interesting how you ignored this part and instead honed in on a singular 2-second moment that I referenced and saying that I "summed him up" that way.  But hey, this is ass-backwards Internet Land after all.
