Martin possess excellent size at 6-1 and also has good ball skills and takes precise angles to the ball. However, some tightness in his hips along with inconsistency as an open-field tackler makes us believe this is a slight reach at this point. Martin is more suited to play safety in the NFL

I'm not liking this pick at the moment. If they drafted him to play corner I would have much rather went with Sean Smith. I would have also went with Gilbert at DT over Martin as well. If they did draft him to play safety the team either isn't a high as we thought on Godfrey or they have absolutely no confidence in the backups.

With all of that said I hated the Marshall pick at first as well and looking back it was a solid 2nd round pick so who knows.

Scout had him rated the 8th best corner and the 61st overall prospect. The only thing I can think is we might be thinking of moving Godfrey to his normal position of CB.

Side note the server too busy is getting annoying, I haven't been able to get on and post consistently since we traded and selected Brown.

He is a cover 2 CB for our Nickel Packages I guess.....

Well I don't know, it doesn't look like BPA here, more like a reach for a need...

They suck when they do that, I hope I am wrong....

The more I look at him, the more I think he was drafted specifically to be the nickel back (i.e. Richard Marshall II).

Having a corner/safety hybrid playing that role can be handy.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
