He'd make a pretty awesome nickel. 

I think at worst he turns into one of the better nickels in the league.  Just who is going to play opposite Jackson on the outside though?

We need a starter and after Captain I never want to see another little person pretending to be an NFL CB.

I feel for the guy. It's not fair but he is 5'9" and as far as I know no one makes platform cleats for the NFL.

 

Edit: 5'8" hell no. 6' plus or bust baby. This isn't the NCAA.

Other teams have Amik in the 40s, don't sleep on it.

But 5'8 in the league of giants.. We don't have a big Cb on the roster either.. Is getting a nickle CB more important then a outside CB??

Also, look at our Competition in the league 

Julio 6'3+

Evans 6'4+

Godwin 6'3+

Michael Thomas 6'3+

Yeah that's just our division 6 games a year.. And we're talking about a nickle back???.   Oh and I forgot a refreshed  Gronk!!!  Yeah losing Bradberry may be the biggest lost this offseason... 

Get Logan Ryan on the phone..

Arbitrary lines in the sand are how you end up missing out on the Steve Smiths, Tyrann Mathieus, Maurice Jones-Drews, etc.

Verge,

Do we like Gay jr?

He texted me this morning and said to look at the Baylor connection. Mims could be it. 

Chance for Gross-Matos?  

[WOW!!]

Good point... I see being small might help in offensive situations and playing in space on defense... But head to head 1 on 1 is a different story..

True but are those guys not the exception and not the rule? 

Plus we already have Jackson for our nickle spot. He isn't an outside CB, maybe one day but that isn't looking great.

There are all kinds of exceptions to the rules out there. Just look at most first round busts to see the flipside of that coin. Guys that checked just about every box but somehow still didn't translate. It's why scouting players will always be more art than science.

You’re wanting to draft like we’re going to be competitive this season or even next. 
 

If they have Amik ranked higher you take him and look to fill outside CB another time.

I get what you are saying but A) you expect Hurney to find that exception and B) isn't there other options that fill massive needs with better odds?

Look if we were a 12-4 team with a good roster then I wouldn't mind a swing for a homerun. Let's just get on base at this point.
