Who is the better CB?

Im leaning more towards Dre. My only knock on him is he doesnt have the best hands and ball skills but he is very good at blanketing WRs and laying the wood / tackling.

Gilmore is intriguing due to his size and speed. Was only a 2nd round grade prior to the combine which is a concern of mine.

The word on Dre is that he's great in press and zone because that's what he did at Alabama. He may be a great cover corner but he's never done it. All I've really heard about Gilmore is he's done really well in his drills. Shows fluid hips. This is why he's moved up boards. At this point it becomes about scouting philosophy because his tape does not indicate top 15 talent. He gets burned in coverage.

I would say Dre. As said before he is a good zone CB and the best CB prospect besides Claiborne. My concerns are that he is injury prone though. IMO I would not pick him at 9 though and there are better players at DT when we pick.

If we decide to go corner and these are our 2 choices I don't think you go wrong with either. But if GIlmore keeps rising, I think I would work hard to trade down and still pick up kirkpatrick further down the board. If he were gone there are others just as good . There are good corner choices in the first and second rounds. Honestly no one is so great that they stand all alone once Claiborne is gone.

Why do you say this?

And who in this draft do you consider better man to man CB's?

I say this because I read expert reports and watch film myself considering it is part of my job.

To answer your second question, based on sole man to man coverage Janoris Jenkins is the best man to man cover corner in the draft.

Based on an overall game of a corner, Morris Claiborne is the best corner.

I don't think you can go wrong with either Morris Claiborne, Dre Kirkpatrick, or Janoris Jenkins.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Roger all that. Do you think BY avoided any sacks last game? This oline is not what you're touting them to be. They are much better then 2023! Much much much better than 2023. But come on now, you'd expect this expensive oline (most are run blocking specialist) to at least dominate in the run game every game.  And... I keep telling you our WRs and TEs are not that good yet. I mean last Sunday was a prime example. Our receiving targets never make plays like those. Never. And this is from one of the worst teams in the league. Shough could have easily had 3 INTs if not for his receivers making plays on the ball. Our guys just don't do that. XL almost allowed an INT backing up out of bounds instead of coming to the ball. And everyone would have blamed that on BY. That's why he doesn't throw to that dude. I can't recall a game except maybe the second Falcons game - maybe, where I thought our receivers could possibly be better than the other team's. I think TMac and Coker have a lot of potential. But they're aren't consistent. But they're young and WILL improve. I'm confident of that.  I don't agree that BY was drafted to only stand in the pocket. He has always been best off schedule - for better or worse.

      Do you think you will get a direct answer?  Icky giving up 5 pressures (playing hurt in his defense) by himself and Bryce only getting sacked once tells you he played well in the pocket.  He extended plays and converted some tough downs.

      What gets this team past this?

      By frankw · Posted

      I've been very apprehensive about potentially firing yet another head coach. But Canales needs to focus on being a head coach first and foremost and begin handing off some responsibilities like playcalling duties and begin overseeing the entire team or we need to assess all possible ideal HC candidates in the offseason.
