Moving Godfrey to CB and martin to saftey is just a horrible idea, did it cross your mind that we might be replacing ken lucas????

Yes I did, but with his size and speed he was projected as a Safety in the NFL, while Godfrey was projected as a CB. It did cross my mind it was to replace Lucas. I was throwing out an Idea.

What im baffled about is that we needed another CB to either be a starter or backup to compete for starting. At LEAST just a solid backup CB. Instead we pass up other talent for a guy that could've gone later and CB isn't even his specialty.

That's why I was thinking about the Godfrey move. Martin projects better at FS then CB, while we Know Godfrey can play CB. That's the reason I brought that up.

What do you think of this comment? Of course his coach might pump him up some but I just don't see someone trying to B.S. the scouts. This guy could content for the starting position. We'll see.

Ive heard that his Troy coaches say he's better then Leodis McKelvin the guy that went 11th overall last year

If we can get a player with those skills I am happy. I think a worst he will become our Nickel Back.

I wanted Smith or Gilbert too, but whatever our FO is pretty good at picking corners. He looks like a really fluid athlete which is always great at corner. Fast and agile is always a good combination. They say he has marginal instincts but he says he's smart and knows what's going on :D. Hmmmm... I think it's coachable. I'll see how he does before I crucify him.

if we are doing a cover2or tampa2 he is gong to be incredibly solid. someone with his skillset is going to be able to move pretty well from FS to CB. if he was a SS we were planning on moving to CB, i would have pretty big questions. since he was a productive FS i feel better about it.

the thing i like about this kid is he is everywhere. in the zone....that is exactly what you want. he knows what is going on and is able to get to where the ball is quickly and either deliver the big hit or smack the ball down/intercept it. for a nickel back or a CB in a zone offense, that is what you want.

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.

Those were my exact thoughts when the pick came through.

I guess we'll see how this works out. Still wondering if we'll try to bring Lucas back at a low cost to try a few different things in training camp.
