Martin possess excellent size at 6-1 and also has good ball skills and takes precise angles to the ball. However, some tightness in his hips along with inconsistency as an open-field tackler makes us believe this is a slight reach at this point. Martin is more suited to play safety in the NFL

I'm not liking this pick at the moment. If they drafted him to play corner I would have much rather went with Sean Smith. I would have also went with Gilbert at DT over Martin as well. If they did draft him to play safety the team either isn't a high as we thought on Godfrey or they have absolutely no confidence in the backups.

With all of that said I hated the Marshall pick at first as well and looking back it was a solid 2nd round pick so who knows.

Scout had him rated the 8th best corner and the 61st overall prospect. The only thing I can think is we might be thinking of moving Godfrey to his normal position of CB.

Side note the server too busy is getting annoying, I haven't been able to get on and post consistently since we traded and selected Brown.

He is a cover 2 CB for our Nickel Packages I guess.....

Well I don't know, it doesn't look like BPA here, more like a reach for a need...

They suck when they do that, I hope I am wrong....

The more I look at him, the more I think he was drafted specifically to be the nickel back (i.e. Richard Marshall II).

Having a corner/safety hybrid playing that role can be handy.

    • Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando. 
    • As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.
    • You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
