4th Round - Carolina selects Tre Boston, S, UNC

[TheRumGone]

STRENGTHS: Looks the part of an NFL safety with a chiseled physique and good overall athleticism. Highly physical defender who attacks the line of scrimmage in run support, demonstrating aggressive hands and impressive upper body strength to take on and shed blocks, as well as impressive closing speed and the willingness to throw his body into the pile. Fluid athlete who accelerates smoothly. Times his leaps well to highpoint 50-50 balls, showing strong hands to pluck and secure quickly. Former cornerback who could just be scratching the surface of his potential.

WEAKNESSES: Isn't the some of his parts due to the fact that he takes false steps. Doesn't trust what he sees and instead bounces back and forth indecisively, putting him in tough position to make plays on the ball. Comes in out of control in run support, at times, leaving cut-back lanes for savvy runners to exploit.

so essentially. the dude is a physical specimen and athlete that needs to be coached up.

 

sounds like DG's plan of "why they CAN make it"

McShay just said this about Boston: "Special Teams, Special Teams, Special Teams...will be good special teamer,

[Ken]

Dude is a depth pick. He will be an ace on ST. This has nothing to do with Godfrey etc etc

[Ruff]

FYI, his twitter account says "I'm on a money making mission".

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, my first reaction was also "meh".  Just have to trust Gettleman (or is it Ron this time?) on this one.

[Pantherpride84]

In college he was even worse at cb.  that's where they started him early on.  Totally indecisive, late to react (except on double moves) he bites on those pretty quick lol

[EMSMedic79]

I thought for sure they would pull the trigger on either Richardson or Fleming for offense, and Jordan Tripp for defense. Interesting.

[Ken]

It's nothing against him. It's drafting Amini with Cordy sitting there

 

There is a Cordy sitting there? Pleas enlighten me.

Dontae who went one pick after. Brock, who Chicago traded up for like three picks later.

[KJ89]

in Gettlemen I trust.

[Gallagher]

I like the pick, but am still worried about the situation at Tackle.

[Growl]

We put more emphasis on getting ST players than any team in the league. Not that I inherently have any qualms with that. Especially with our turd of a ST coordinator.

[Swaggasaurus]

He has always reminded me of Godfrey...good/bad, idk.

[Cary Kollins]

Was this guy playing when ECU put up 60 points and 700+ passing yards?
