Players drop all the time.  Long list of guys in the first round too where that was proven  to be a massive mistake by teams letting them drop. 
 

don’t reply if you don’t want to be quoted.  Internet ain’t that hard boss. 

 

 Man, I appreciate you thinking I'm a boss.

So...Horn started what? 30 games. And had 1 bad game against the Heisman Trophy  winner. 

 

It is a passing league. Hence, it is a defend the pass league. We just got a guy who excels at defending the pass.

 

We had 1 1st round pick. Does it matter where we picked, as long as we got a top talent? 

 

It matters a bunch when you pick in the top 10. Many would argue we didn't even get the most proven CB. Not to mention we probably passed on a pretty good QB, LT and WR. I don't like the pick. Do I think he will bust no... But do I think he will change the game like a good QB could nope...

The real problem is he was the first defensive player in the draft selected. He needs to be the best overall defensive player to live up to the pick.

Well there's a reason it took till 8 to draft defense. Because its pretty weak this year overall. I have yet to understand though with 8 picks in two years we have yet to take any offense.

We got the top rated CB. 

 

We passed on the 3rd or 4th best QB.

 

We passed on lots of good talent. What does that matter?

 

We got the best player at his position. A position of great need in this passing league. We were not going to get that return on any other position.

that strategy worked well for the broncos in the super bowl against us

I've generally found the best way to win games is to have your offense score points while your defense keeps the other team from scoring points 😐

(special teams can also help out in both directions)

Well, technically the best way to win a Super Bowl is to have a Manning on his ride into the sunset last game.

Bottom line for me: Didn't get the  guy I wanted (oh, so close) but we did stick to our draft board, made what I think will be a good pick and shored up a position of need. I'm good with that.

Let's see what tomorrow brings.

Okudah was better in college and played this year hurt. When Okudah was in college his last year he dominated across the board on every teams number one, got interceptions, sacks, and didn’t commit a single penalty which is insane for a corner.

Horn held lots of guys to low yardage totals though so he has that going for him. But I believe part of that is everyone knowing you can abuse their #2 corners every play.

Jaycee had more solo tackles, tackle assists, sacks, pass deflections, and forced fumbles while having only one less pick than Okudah (who had 5 more games thanks to not dealing with COVID). Okudah had a single sack and three interceptions his senior season.

Okudah's senior regular season opponents: Florida Atlantic, Cincinnati, Indiana, Miami (OH), Nebraska, Michigan State, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Maryland, Rutgers, Penn State, Michigan,. His toughest match ups during the regular season were Quintez Cephus, KJ Hamler, and Donovan Peoples-Jones.

Meanwhile, Jaycee Horn played against Tennessee, Florida, Vandy, Auburn, LSU, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Missouri, Georgia, and Kentucky during his senior season which put him up against Kyle Pitts, Kadarius Toney, Terrace Marshall Jr, Elijah Moore, Jaylen Waddle, and DeVonta Smith.

      PFF: Top 15 NFL rookies through Week 11

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      2. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (80.4) McMillan caught eight passes for 130 yards in the Panthers' overtime win over the Falcons, both season highs. He was targeted 10 times in the contest and got into the endzone for the first time since Week 6, with two touchdown catches. His first score came late in the first quarter — a seven-yard catch with Jessie Bates III closing in coverage. The second came with a minute remaining in the fourth quarter, as he was able to uncover from a stumbling Kaden Ellis for a 12-yard grab on third down. That play gave the Panthers a one-point lead. McMillan gained seven first downs on the day and forced two missed tackles. He recorded three explosive gains of 15-plus yards, including catches of 29 and 39 yards. He also generated a perfect passer rating when targeted The top-10 pick now ranks sixth in receiving yards on the season (764) across 55 catches. He is also tied for sixth in targets (86) and tied for third among rookie receivers in touchdown catches (four). McMillan is up to 24 explosive gains, including 12 catches of 20-plus yards. He’s one of two rookie receivers to have recorded double-digit gains of 20-plus yards (Emeka Egbuka). The Arizona product's 75.8 PFF receiving grade over his past three games ranks 13th among wide receivers. He has caught 17 of 24 targets for 236 yards and 13 first downs in that span. He also places in the top 10 in explosive gains (six), yards per route run (2.38) and receiving yards during that run.   13. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (74.3) Evans recorded his first catch in three weeks, securing both of his targets for 28 yards in Week 11. Most of that production came in the third quarter when he was left alone in busted coverage for a 25-yard pickup. He allowed zero pressure on two pass-blocking snaps but was charged with four negative plays as a run blocker, leading to a 51.3 PFF run-blocking grade. Evans finished the contest with a 58.9 PFF overall grade. The fifth-round pick has now caught each of his 11 targets for 118 yards, earning a 72.6 PFF receiving grade. He has surrendered one hurry across 12 pass-blocking snaps, while his PFF run-blocking grade has now slipped to 68.0. Evans still leads the Panthers' tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade and positive play rate (17.5%).
