U can't be serious? Tru not even better then Jenkins. Look at his highlight tape all his ints were vs #2 receivers except a injured Megatron. He's a good cb but he's not a #1
Well, JMO, But I disagree about Tru! But my main point was/is that Tru is by far better than Norman! Jenkins was not part of the discussion.

Im saying that norman is better then Jenkins and Tru isnt even better then him. If u look at his highlight tape. All his ints and pbs were against #2 receivers except for a hobbled megatron. Hes a good #2 cb. Thats why I feel one of our tops 3 picks will be cb

Why does that matter? You can either cover, read the receiver, break up passes, intercept balls ... or you can't.

Incidentally, Jenkins' interceptions last year happened while he was covering:
Markus Wheaton
John Brown
and Marvin Jones

It just shows that we don't know if he can cover number 1s consistently. That's why I think we draft cb early

Do we know that he can't? 7 interceptions in a season is no joke.
And hell, I don't even know if Janoris could do it. He got beat like a drum by some decent #1's too.
IMO, what it comes down to is the pressure generated by the front 4. When effective, that makes all CB's lives easier.

I'm curious...If they go CB early, doesn't that mean that they think they'll snap up a starter that may be better than TJ??? Or do you think they'll get a #2 ???...I'm no expert. But I think they have go wide out before corner...Just my thought process of course...

This draft is full of very athletic DBs. In fact teams seem to find adequate DBs every year throughout the draft. That position is not one that many teams will want to sink a ton of money in if it keeps going that way. Is a shut down corner really worth that much more than a good corner? I guess if you have a lot of cap money and really value the position.
This is where my thoughts went after reading this post. Once again adding more evidence on top of the already heap of established evidence of the priceless ultra high value of each NFL teams draft selections. These yearly Ram assets are to be handled & guarded like Technetium.

Snead & Fisher have some skills in ID'ing good young DB's in most of their Ram drafts thus far. This 2016 draft looks well endowed in CB's. One like Vernon Hargreaves might even drop to us @ #15 if the teams before us go heavy in QB's & OLT's. That would rate up there with the Donald & Gurley selections. IF that were to occur it sure would help out on the Trumaine Johnson UFA issue in 2017.

He got beat like a red headed step child whipping boy who plays the drums is more accurate.

I'm sorry dude isn't even in the 10 CB's in the league. Ok, maybe top 10 but not too 8.
