Patrick Peterson is having a late surge

[carpanfan96]

We don't need a S. If you run a zone scheme that is what Peterson is gonna be.

More then likely because of his size, PP will need to move to S in a few seasons any ways.

[carpanfan96]

Peterson is the best player in the draft. If we are going to follow the BPA rule then that's who we should pick.

If the team goes BPA, then it takes Von Miller and puts him beside Beason and TD or Beason and Anderson.

In 6-7 years maybe, he's a CB for now regardless of scheme.

But not one that will be utiilized in our system to his full advantage. As a result he won't ever be worth the first pick. We can find someone who will be just as effective in our system later in the draft. it doesn't mean he isn't a great player simply that if we don't use him for man coverage and rely on him in a zone which by all accounts will take some adjustment, he not only will be wasted but won't be able to come in and play at a high level right away. He is really a guy who will be like Godfrey, he will struggle in a zone concept at first and get better with time.

No he isn't. Peterson is two different players pending what he is asked to do. He projects as a better S than CB in a zone scheme......and that ain't 6-7 years down the road.

I'm starting to get a very bad feeling that he's going to be the one we ultimately end up picking rather than Cam. Just reading the tea leaves.

where are you reading this and how could anybody have a "bad feeling" about who we pick?

if we draft Miller we will keep TD and let Anderson walk.

[Jackofalltrades]

If we take BPA then it's Dareus.

[ncmonzta]

I like Peterson and Dareus but those positions are easier to fill than our main need.

[CRA]

if we draft Miller we will keep TD and let Anderson walk.

not that it would happen....but I say you would have to keep Anderson and let TD walk. Same reasoning as to why Bob Sanders just got sent packing.

[CarolinaNut]

if we draft a CB with the 1st overall pick to play in a zone coverage scheme then i've lost all hope in marty hurney.

Three weeks ago I was pretty sure it was Cam. In the last @2 weeks I get the same feeling you do.

PP is a great pick as well though so no worries. :)

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

I do not know anything about evaluating NFL prospects, but from my limited pool of knowledge, it seems appearant that PP is the best player in this draft.

The idea of Peterson and Gamble at CB makes me pretty dang happy. I feel any QB with the 1st pick is a reach. If we do decide we need to take a QB, I sure hope we find a way to trade back!

I would walk away from the draft pretty happy with Peterson, Darius, or a qb if we can trade back a few spots. I am going to be slightly dissapointed if we end up taking Cam or Gabbert with the #1 spot

we can only hope
