we have a good spot this draft.. no matter what, i think were gonna end up with a good DB. One of these 2 guys.. i think honestly, (even though he is rated 2nd) that Kirkpatrick is the better choice for our system. he is bigger, hes better in the zone than morris, and to be honest.. i think he plays just a little harder.. (just my opinion from watching what few college games I have) so assuming either one of these guys doesnt go before we get to them.. who would you rather take?

I think well be ok at corner they are probably going to put stock into hogan. With the big money we gave to the home grown guys they are really going to need their draft picks to pull through for them.

HAHA. I highly doubt that. We're gonna go with Claiborne/Kirkpatrick if they're available, which Kirkpatrick should be.

Why you think reaching for a risky prospect like Kirkpatrick over taking the best player available is a smart move is... puzzling.

I Hope to high heaven we don't take CB. It's just not that important of a position on the defense when you already have at least one great one.

Better pass rush=better pass defense

Better #2 CB=#3 cb and safeties get abused just the same=similar pass defense

Look at all the teams with two great(using that world subjectively) cornerbacks. NY Jets with Revis+Cromartie and the Eagles with Aso+DRC, opposing offenses simply target their #2 and #3 corners and safeties to pick up the yards. But the Biggest difference between them and us? They both have defensive lines to rush the passer.....we don't.

Look at the draft prospects. There are NO DLineman worth taking with the 8th pick. CB is the only sensible way to go. We can get DTs thru Free Agency, like Ron Edwards, who will be back next year

Hmm. A tall, injury-prone CB who's not a great tackler and runs a 4.5. fug yeah, sign me up.

I don't understand the love affair with Kirkpatrick.

Want a good defensive lineman? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good linebacker? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good safety? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good cornerback? Might want to look elsewhere. Like LSU. Or South Carolina. Or Texas. Or Auburn.

Bama and Saban have all of *one* starting CB in the league: Kareem Jackson of the Houston Texans. Go the Houston boards to find out their opinion of Kareem Jackson.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.

      I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
