WR Kevin Cone To Work Out For Carolina


Black

Recommended Posts

every other team in the legue looks at this guy (and every other guy in our WR corps) and thinks, maybe i can squeeze them into our practice squad.

 

meanwhile, we have to ask if he is the next victor cruz and/or if he'd make a decent starter.

 

sad.

This guy's measurables are sick.

http://www.thefalcoholic.com/2012/3/6/2845395/why-kevin-cone-may-be-a-factor-at-wide-receiver-in-2012

"First of all, Cone has quality speed. He ran about a 4.4 40 yard dash and never had his wheels questioned in college out of Georgia Tech's vaunted triple option, though he didn't catch a ton of passes. What makes him really intriguing as a slot receiver is that speed paired with sure hands further paired with excellent size (6'2", 215 pounds). Putting him inside on a nickel corner seems almost unfair.

Of course, you may be skeptical given his lack of production and the fact that he's one year off of being a UDFA, which I understand. But the Falcons are going to sink some serious money into the offensive and defensive lines this off-season and may need to replace a couple of pieces at linebacker, which isn't going to leave them a ton of money to go after a top-flight slot guy. With Julio, Roddy and Tony Gonzalez dominating the attention of other teams' defenses, putting a high-upside matchup problem at the slot just creates more headaches for those teams. I think all he really needs is a shot."

    • Don't think it hurts that much. IMO, not much of a dropoff from somebody like Gipson compared to Rozeboom. Regardless, I still think we are looking at an ILB in the first 3 rounds. There are quite a few interesting prospects between Rodriguez, Golday, and Hill Jr. that would be good 2nd round picks if they make it to us (Rodriguez might be a stretch since it seems like teams are falling in love with him). Kyle Louis and Lawson are worth a look also in the 3rd
    • I think that is the first goal of pretty much every team. No one seeks to make it in via WC, in August anyway. You take what you can get, but you always set out to win your division.  People look around at their division foes and say okay we can probably expect strong rushing attacks. So we’ll need a stout run D. Mandatory. Etc. We drafted TD basically to spy on Vick. We could do nothing with him up until then. It kind of helped but they were still putting it on us too often for a while. You have to match up to your division. 
    • This is the goal for this team. It all starts there. Success starts with winning the division every year at bare minimum. Once you do that then you can worry about owning the nfc. Do that then we can talk championships.
