5 safeties and 3 corners...

Obviously, we are going to be watching the waiver wire for CBs. (Hurney said as much during the game)

But, with us keeping 5, could we be looking at moving one of the safeties to corner? Pugh and Martin both have very good coverage skills, and it would be hard to imagine either being worse than what we already have at CB.

Pugh split time between FS and CB at A&M and played mostly CB in HS. Martin has been a Safety since HS, but most draft gurus had him slotted as a corner in the NFL. Many had him ranked as the 8th or 9th best CB in the draft.

This is probably just useless speculation, but who knows. Maybe this is a backup plan if no one of Rivera's liking becomes available.

Yeah, I am pretty sure Godfrey played CB in college, but his coverage skills are not nearly as good as Pugh or Martin.

I would say we're counting on the pressure of our front 4, but at this point that is laughable...

I expect the LBs are going to be turned loose in a Rivera/McDermott scheme though... So that will help some...

I was thinking if we signed Merriweather then they may explore moving one of Godfrey, Martin, or Pugh back to corner... And I believe any one of them could make an outstanding one with their ability...

BUT, I'm really hoping we take a shot at 2 CBs in FA out of the guys that were released.

It's gonna be interesting to see what we do. Philly always stayed stacked and deep in the DB dept., so I see us doing the same.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
