.... looks like a nickel prospect. Would allow Bene to play outside if needed. Sanchez won't be ready.

I've heard you say that a lot about Sanchez. Is it his ability to read an NFL offense or more his ability to play in the NFL?

Do you think there's any chance Sanchez is practice squad bound or do you see him making the active roster?

Nickel is one of the more difficult positions for a rookie to learn. I would not expect Sanchez to see much time there.

Gettleman doesn't cut draft picks. 

 

Well, healthy ones at least.

someone almost made a "Gaff..."! lol

Gettleman has shown that he can identify veteran DBs who will work well in our defense.  I was definitely uncomfortable with Bene being the only real veteran presence in the CB corps.  Hopefully this guy can play and can allow us to bring along Sanchez slowly.  Hopefully either Bradberry or Worley will be ready to go right out of the gate.  We're going to need at least one of the CBs to be an instant impact player.

Judging from what you've said about his physical abilities... eek.

I mean, he is a little guy. He is taller than Munnerlyn was but seems much more spindly in person. Worry about him trying to tackle anyone over 200 pounds. 

[RoaringRiot]

Stood next to Sanchez at the kickball tournament. He looks 15.

[Felipe Vieira]

Good sign. I was really worried about the depth in nickel position

Poo. Can he at least hold onto someone until back up arrives (maybe two seconds)? Our defense swarms to the ball.

True, but on 3rd and short half a second of not bringing a guy down is a huge issue.
