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.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

      These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.

      Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.
