Draft:CB's and Safeties

[bwdenverram]

So with all the talk about OL and Clowney I figured we might as well talk about another area I think we all agree needs to be upgraded. These are two of my favorite players I hope we get at least one of. I think both have a ton of physicality and bring the "wood". Not to mention both can cover. I love the way Pryor attacks the ball. Baptiste isn't the top guys being talked about but the kid can play.

Who you got?

It is well known I love Pryor. But Jean-Baptiste ....I never really paid any attention to him until the Senior Bowl ... and he was intriguing there. Solid reports on his practice week as well. That highlight vid intrigues me even more. isn't he something like 6'2-3" ??

I'm with you on Pryor Redding. He is my man crush of the draft. Each year i have one and this year it is him. I am going to be so sad when i hear his name called to a team other than the Rams.

As for Baptiste.....I liked him a lot during the season, but the more i read and watched, I am not sure he is physical enough for Fishers liking. As a 6'3 CB, I expect you to be physical, and he just doesn't cut it in my eyes. Verrett who is 5'10 is more physical than him. If you can't use your size to your advantage, then I don't want you. I am saying this as a guy who was very high on him earlier in the season.

Like I said ... didn't see much at all of him during the season ... but started hearing about him leading up to the Sr. Bowl ... then watched that game and then that highlight vid and it didn't look all that bad. He looks better than McGee LOL I'm just saying ... with his size ... and possibly a mid rd. pick ... he can be coached up ... add some muscle. 6'3" CB's don't grow on trees

I think OP would love my mock draft

Baptiste is only ranked #12 for CB's which is really surprising to me. He almost 6'3" 215lbs. I think we need a bigger type cover corner for the larger WR's we face.
Could be a late round steal. Of course I'd like Dennard or Gilbert but probably gone unless we make a trade.

Look inside the mock draft subforum. I went in depth with each selection. Note: its defense heavy

 

[bwdenverram]

Got it. The first two picks would certainly make our D that much better. I don't know as much about the other 2nd round choices. Will take a look.
I'm a fan of Thomas so I like it.

Van noy would be a great SLB and Mewhort is a future starting RT. I love Skov, he is tenacious

 

[bwdenverram]

I'll definitely check into those guys for sure.
