Verret's only private work out was with, guess who?

[carolina-chuck]

I like Verrett a lot too but damn, no way Gilbert comes in last of this group

Gilbert

Dennard

Verrett

Fuller

Roby

I'm not in love with Gilbert. Wasnt a huge fan of his during the season. Has some excellent return ability, but as a corner in general Im not a fan.

He was one guy who needed to shine at the combine, and he successfully did. Showcased smooth hips, etc. But, still you gotta go back to the game tapes. Someone from NFL Network or ESPN said a few days ago that a lot of executives are not in love with Gilbert as much as what people think.

Those type of rumors come out every year close to draft day. I'd take them with a huge grain of salt. Teams want good players to fall.

 

I'd be shocked if Gilbert isn't at least the second CB off the board.

 

[MedellinHeel]

We are not drafting a 5'9 CB in the 1st round. 

 

You don't even need great CB's when you have an elite DL. 

 

If we didn't have issues at OL and WR than sure, but that aint the case.

If you would rather have Kyle Fuller, please explain why you would rather have Kyle Fuller.

 

he is taller for one... 6'0" as opposed to Verrett's 5'9"...

[Rise of The Hive]

Verrett is a 1st round talent and many seems to agree.

 

Depending on who is on the board he would be a steal at 28 IMO.

[Happy Panther]

The thing about 6'0" cornerbacks is the badass ones would be starting WRs if they were 6'3".

 

You don't have to catch it you just gotta get a finger on it

Brent Grimes was a solid at best corner for most of his career prior to having a one season resurgence in Miami which he may or may not continue. Matthieu doesn't even play CB, and players that play the nickel play there because they can't play outside. CBs that can't play outside don't get picked in the first round.

But by all means, you're right, each are Darrell Green type players.

No? No they aren't?

Well that was my point.

 

mathieu lines up in the slot at times, no? grimes had two or three pretty good seasons in atlanta before getting hurt and continuing to be pretty good in miami.

 

wouldnt it be more relevant to name current short corners who succeed in this pass driven league? than darrell green... a guy who retired before the ty law rule when it was easier.

[Snake]

Literally one of if not the best slot corner in the game.

Who is now getting paid way more than a slot corner.

We drafting offense this year. That's it.

Someone didn't watch Gettlemans press conference.

Yea, gettleman said he's not drafting on offense this year. Ok, guy! Like he has a choice. More than anything he has to save face after the off season debacle.

He's literally the only one that does have a choice. His choice will be the BPA.

[Thal]

Yep, BPA OO

Best player available on offense.

Well that's what they're solely going to be using him as.

 

Too bad for us they actually have cap space. It was a huge need for the Vikings and a big reason their defense sucked so hard last year.
