Kirkpatrick vs Morris

[xclr82xtc]

we have a good spot this draft.. no matter what, i think were gonna end up with a good DB. One of these 2 guys.. i think honestly, (even though he is rated 2nd) that Kirkpatrick is the better choice for our system. he is bigger, hes better in the zone than morris, and to be honest.. i think he plays just a little harder.. (just my opinion from watching what few college games I have) so assuming either one of these guys doesnt go before we get to them.. who would you rather take?

[Donald LaFell]

Is Morris a safety? I think that would be way too high

[xclr82xtc]

no.. morris is the current top rated corner..from lsu.

[Keith Moons Liver]

whoever has the best cover skills. I hate picking athletes that don't know how to play the game.

[Zithers]

morris claiborne is hands down the better prospect, which is why he won't be available at #8/9

[Donald LaFell]

I think well be ok at corner they are probably going to put stock into hogan. With the big money we gave to the home grown guys they are really going to need their draft picks to pull through for them.

HAHA. I highly doubt that. We're gonna go with Claiborne/Kirkpatrick if they're available, which Kirkpatrick should be.

[Ruff]

Claiborne is most likely going to Tampa.

Why you think reaching for a risky prospect like Kirkpatrick over taking the best player available is a smart move is... puzzling.

I Hope to high heaven we don't take CB. It's just not that important of a position on the defense when you already have at least one great one.

Better pass rush=better pass defense

Better #2 CB=#3 cb and safeties get abused just the same=similar pass defense

Look at all the teams with two great(using that world subjectively) cornerbacks. NY Jets with Revis+Cromartie and the Eagles with Aso+DRC, opposing offenses simply target their #2 and #3 corners and safeties to pick up the yards. But the Biggest difference between them and us? They both have defensive lines to rush the passer.....we don't.

Look at all the teams with two great(using that world subjectively) cornerbacks. NY Jets with Revis+Cromartie and the Eagles with Aso+DRC, both are giving up huge yards in the air to whoever is not on their #1 corner or whoever gets behind their defense.

Look at the draft prospects. There are NO DLineman worth taking with the 8th pick. CB is the only sensible way to go. We can get DTs thru Free Agency, like Ron Edwards, who will be back next year

What about an OLB to replace Davis? The guy's done, regardless of what you guys think.

[Sloth]

Hmm. A tall, injury-prone CB who's not a great tackler and runs a 4.5. fug yeah, sign me up.

I don't understand the love affair with Kirkpatrick.

Want a good defensive lineman? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good linebacker? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good safety? Pick one from a Saban defense.

Want a good cornerback? Might want to look elsewhere. Like LSU. Or South Carolina. Or Texas. Or Auburn.

Bama and Saban have all of *one* starting CB in the league: Kareem Jackson of the Houston Texans. Go the Houston boards to find out their opinion of Kareem Jackson.
