Inroducing Patrick Peterson, CB LSU

[MHS831]

Luck is out of the picture. Take a look at this consolation prize. (I hate to say this: If he comes out)

222 lbs, runs a 4.45 40, 6'1" and the best cover corner in the draft.

Probably the BPA and he is at a need position. And he returns punts/kicks.

2010 SEC defensive player of the year.

2010 SEC Special teams player of the year.

I don't think I'd use him to return punts or kicks, if we draft him with the number one pick.

He'd be worth too much money, and would be at serious risk.

Just curious what is the serious risk you speak of? The guy is a solid player.

The risk of getting him hurt.

Too much money would be invested in him for him to go out there and pull a hammy returning a kick, or worse.

The same reason Gamble stopped returning punts, the dude was too valuable to the team.

Fairley, Peterson, A.J. Green, etc. etc. etc. These guys are all really nice players but not someone that a team should use a number 1 pick on. They are more like 5-15 talent. Once Luck went back to school this really became a meaningless top pick.

For others watching the Cotton Bowl: is it just me, or is Peterson getting picked on? They seem to be throwing at him with regularity and success.

Until we start getting some pressure on the QB it won't matter who our CB's are. When you play in the NFC South against QB's like Brees, Ryan and Freeman you have to attack them or they will attack us (Like they did this year). That is why I say we should draft Nick Fairley.

Fuller has made some nice catches on him.

Yea i agree on that, I thought you had other worries. I don't think our coach would be that free with Peterson.

[DaCityKats]

I seen him not let a wr off the line which made a sack and fumble.

[MHS831]

Some say his size and hitting ability makes him a better Safety prospect. If you want the best player in the draft, you might have to stay in the conference but go to the other side of the ball.
