Can Taylor make the transition to FS? Is my questions..

Based on what I've read, it does seem like FS would be good for him since he does better facing the ball and having more space between him and the receiver.

I'm ok with ignoring Noles in the Draft. 

Thats like saying it's OK to ignore byu players... what you would ignore Zac wilson... or ignore  north Dakota state players... you ignore trey Lance?  Josh Allen? Again.. just because a player went to a school has absolutely nothing to do with ability to play the game.

Pass Deflections and Coverage are more important than INTs. Usually the less INTs you have is because you are covering your guy well and QBs aren't throwing your way that often. The average fan should know this. Not surprising the usual suspects do not.

In the video with Will Blackmon, he shows pretty effortless catching of the football.  Maybe just not the opportunities, as you say.

Some of these later CBs we may pick could be FS conversions who knows. Also he did well at the Sr Bowl so may have responded well tot he coaching.

People have an opinion about everything. You say your sick I'm sure your mom ar one point in time tried to diagnose you like she was a doctor.

I will say this.  We will find out rather quickly if this “the more darts you throw the better your chances are” approach is better than the classic “talent is at the top of the draft” mentality     
 

I can see both sides of the coin but damn we left a lot of supposed talent on the table early on.   Is our roster that bad?   
 

Sam is going to have a lot of talent around hi question is will he be protected.  

I think the staff saw the draft was loaded and we had holes so they gathered as many picks as possible. Each draft is different so IDK if this will be the norm.

Damn, hate when the ignore function doesn’t work when you post and the idiot on ignore posts during refresh.

So interceptions don’t matter? You think Taylor is Deion Sanders or Revis? Of course interceptions matter.

You really are a complete and utter douche. You might want to try and not be a dick quite as much. No one really cares about your opinion. Hopefully, the ignore works better.

Can a guy cover? Can a guy tackle? These matter a whole lot more than whether he picks off a handful of passes every year. 

FWIW, Horn didn’t have one in his first two years, and I think he maybe had two this year. He’s doomed!!!

I won’t have to act like a prick if people stop acting like total idiots.

If we trade up to get Smith at G, I would be in heaven. Not sure why he’s dropped so far but Nixon did too. Very athletic and big and was ranked as a day 2 guy. I think he could be a starter very soon and we need to get out of this draft with more than one OL. It would be an amazing cherry on top.

Smith because of health concerns, heard Nixon might be an off the field incident (unconfirmed).

Well we agree on something. Look at that.

Oh yeah like you bringing up fictitious stats not producing them then going crazy for a DT in the 5th round that you said we couldn't get talent in.. 

Oh yeah we agree you're a clown..

When this happens there is clearly a reason why as everyone else feels the same way...

Looks like:
 

He did battle blood clots in his lungs twice during his career, which could be a reason for him falling in the draft. He hasn't missed a game in two years.

I mean lets just get Trey Smith and Deonte Brown.  Two huge guards to road grade

I know we just picked a DB but what do you think about CHRISTIAN UPHOFF Safety from Illinois State?  Seems like the type of guy Fitts would go after.
