Prob because they’re the worst team in the league for years and earned the scrutiny 

Anyone defending these picks after all the draft classes this organization has pissed away needs to give their head a shake

No clue about this guy. Late round CB depth most likely.

Go look at drafts from the last few years. The reality is it's hard to find starters at this point. This wasn't a reach.

I was hoping our late round DB would be Stiggers from the CFL.   Think this rules that out.

I'm pretty that was Dan's thought when he scouted him.

Could be. I think he could be good as a NB slot guy. He's one of those annoying turd corners that sticks with the WR and can't get free of him. Just when you think you're free of him he's there again. Athletic enough to stick with anyone. Hes going to make any target uncomfortable for the QB.

A 5th round huge reach? You need some perspective my friend. 

There were better guys there IMO.  And yes you can reach in round 5

If he makes the 53, I'll be shocked. I know we are thin but not impressed. We have an OT with a 2nd-3rd grade still out there. Really thought we take Christian Jones.

A 5th rounder isnt getting cut. Especially when his competition is Bootle, D.Jackson, L.Jackson, and AJ parker, all of whom have contributed nothing in the NFL.

A lot of the same things were said about Jammie Robinson

Much like sanders this year, he was the only pick I liked last year. He was TERRIBLE, 100% would have be cut if not for being drafted. Guys off the streets were getting snaps over him.

Best nickel corner we ever drafted was a 7th rounder though.  We just kept putting him in the outside because that’s what we do 

[DaveThePanther2008]

He did well at the Senior Bowl and is an ultra-competitor  This is thee type of player you want in the 5th round. Fight and scrap.

Sure there may have been other players we need but are they sound enough to fight tooth and nail.

I feel this guy has it. The Dawg is in him

[Shocker]

Hopefully he can be something, will obviously pull for him

If anything, DBs later on is a spot that we've been able to find more than others, historically speaking.

Bene, Munnerlynn, Norman, Worley, McClain (did well elsewhere)

Lmao a reach in the 5th round!?

One of the better defensive performers at the Senior Bowl. He had 2 picks in the game. Interesting that both defense picks went to the Senior Bowl.
