Draft update. Dre Kirkpatrick tonight.

[Jackofalltrades]

Extremely ironic coming from the guy who says Alshon will be a bust because his 40 isn't that great.

From what I've seen of Jeffrey I don't think he has the speed to be worth a top ten pick, that's without the 40. That comes from watching endless highlight tapes of him getting caught from behind.

Also, for Kirkpatrick I'm more interested in agility, hip flexion, vertical, etc.

Thanks for trying though.

Also, fwiw, CBS has Jeffrey as the 5th ranked WR.

I want Kirkpatrick, he instantly upgrades our cornerback position of Gamble, Munnerlyn, Butler, Hogan, and Stanford.

It would also be nice to have two corners starting that are both over six foot tall and can compete with tall receivers like Calvin Johnson, Andre Johnson, and Larry Fitzgerald.

Just not sold on Kirkpatrick. Wouldn't hate the pick, but I don't see him ever becoming a top flight CB. Do like Robert Lester, though. He'd be an instant upgrade over Martin at FS.

No, he's not draft eligible until next year.

Upshaw will likely be a 3-4 OLB.

i seriously loathe the inevitable marching band of posters obsessed with LSU defensive backs that are going to be plundering the forums with banal thread after thread begging us to trade up into the top 15 to draft a 5'8'' corner about this time next year

We all knew Kirkpatrick is physical, but he's way overrated. I think it's looking more and more apparent that playing with two top safeties, has boosted his status. So there is no way I want him to be our pick at 8 or 9.

Kirkpatrick will probably be the best defensive player on the board when we pick though, beside Luke Kuechly. Personally I think it's between Kirkpatrick and Kuechly.

I like what I've seen from Lester, though it's true the Alabama secondary hasn't been tested much. Hope he comes out.

You're right. Every great receiver has to be able to break off 80 yard TDs every other play. Like Larry Fitzgerald among other possession receivers that get 80 yard TD's frequently. Before you bring up separation...how did he get caught from behind if he didn't get behind the DB in the first place?

You must not like logic. Try again.

The safety Reid looks good too

kirkpatrick is a great gunner. he gets down the field fast on special teams.

well since matthias doesn't like him i guess that confirms he would be worth the pick

[Jackofalltrades]

I still like Kirkpatrick though he needs to work on tackling.

[holderoftruth]

I like the fact that Kirkpatrick is asked to play the gunner on the special teams and he goes out and gets the job done. He has been growing on me the past week or so. Also his nickname is "swag"
