Was there a reason why a CB of his size was passed on for that long anyways? (Serious question, what were the reasons he lasted till the 5th?)

If I remember correctly he was rather raw and scouts were saying he didn't possess natural cover skills and didn't have the speed needed at this level to catch a receiver and recover when beaten. I think he just needed some coaching and to work on his technique but he had decent ball skills at Stanford.

Hoping Norman can evolve and get coached up as Sherman has. They play with a similar attitude and chip on their shoulders.

Also, injury. I think knee? He could have ended up just like Hogan.

This and honestly, Hogan was an absolute STUD in college. Just too bad he got injured and for some reason just seemed to lack the heart or work ethic to get back. Really ashame because I was really excited about him.

I'd like to see Norman gain 15 lbs this offseason and improve on his speed. Great tackler though.

Agreed Norman needs to bulk up as I am sure he will. Let the man put on another 15 pounds and allow him to play aggressive and jam receivers and I believe he will be much improved by next season. Hopefully his lack of playing time towards the end of last season has humbled him to work hard his off season and win a starting job next year.

Serioulsy, go back and watch tape on Sherman at Stanford. He looked like he wasnt gonna be crap in the NFL. Barely draft-able to me. He damn near did a 360 when he got in the league, you cant see that kind of talent moving over to the league. I always wonder where the switch got flipped on or was he just really coached up by Carroll and company wants he got in the NFL. He is one of the guys you would never see being a stud in the NFL best off college even if he was coached up.

      Divisional Round Playoffs Thread

      We have our own issues with Bryce but it’s crazy how this franchise was dragged through the media the last 2 years for missing out on CJ Stroud and Caleb Williams   *whispers* Bryce played better than both of them in the playoffs the real mistake was mortgaging the future for Bryce when Drake Maye could have been there the next year

      Needs? Draft or FA

      By musicman · Posted

      O-line: 1 major player for Tackle (draft or FA) and a Center (if we don't resign Mayes). WR: Low pick or good FA signing? D-LIne: Def need a NT and a DE/OLB who can rush the QB. FA or Draft? TE; I don't know what they want to think of what they do? MLB: I think it's out 1st rd pick, but getting another in FA wouldn't hurt, thoughts? DBs; We need another sticky QB to play more man when needed. Again a 1st or 2nd rd pick IMO.  S: Everybody says we need a rangy centerfielder, draft or FA? Would you take one high in the draft? I don't use players because there are no guarantees who's there, just asking what makes sense. We know they'll fill "all" the holes in FA and then draft, so which FA are the better ones and which are just 1 year fillers? My thought: FA - Big DT, DE/OLB & MLB. 2 of 3 as those take a which to develop. Draft: MLB or Tackle, DB in the 2nd, DE/OLB in the 3rd. I think they need a solid T if Icki doesn't return better than before and Moton is getting old.  I also think thy need to resign BC on the O-line.
