That ECU game he played Man to man, he got torched a bit... Just saying.

Had Gilmore been great at ANYTHING he would have been a shoe in for the first round with his size, speed, and PRODUCTION. imo

The combine brought to surface his very nice measurable's, which has propelled him into the first round.

I dont follow the gamecocks, but I think its safe to say he was never a GREAT college CB.

Dash you dont watch the SEC and are making firm judgements...Im confused. i will not pretend to have seen Mychael Kendricks since I havent watched a down of ucla football in the last three yrs.

Ahh wait ... Such is the message board world.... I almost wanted real reasons from why you think he is not great at something.

He did have uneven moments..but he is an agressive tackler and has great ball skills to convert some pick 6s. His size, agility, and speed are rare and is worth a serious look. Dre Kirpatrick is a bump and run guy and struggles to turn and run.

Id expect Hogan to win the 2 spot and have either Dre or Gilmore learn if we went cb so either way..and Kirpatrick will be a good FS.

Funny that people say that Gilmore can't cover man-to-man and is only gonna work in a zone-scheme considering the fact that he's not very good in a zone and is great in man-to-man.

I thought USC ran mostly zone. Every time I watch gilmores highlights he is in zone. I've heard many different opinions on this but to me he looks like a zone guy. Id rather we take Kirkpatrick. Bama runs all man.

Not sure id call it "firm judgement". Rather just common sense.

Had Gilmore been an shut down CB in college WITH his measurable's (6ft+ 4.4 speed ect) he would have been a bonifide 1st round draft pick PRIOR to the combine.

Maybe im off here.... but a good part of the Gilmore hype is due to his combine numbers and not his college career.

One of my best friends is a die hard gamecock fan and he is indeferent about Gilmore saying he got burnt and was rather inconsistent.

Psst...Kirpatrick played a ton of zone. A Saban staple. Gilmore playes in a weird 3-3-5 defense. He was projected a first rounder than had an ok year so dropped to a late first early second and then is getting the hype bc his measurables are through the roof.

It seems no one viewed the video associated with the article where Lombardi breaks down both players.

Kirpatrick never shut down anyone either.. He made tackles and he is tall.
