He is nothing like meachem. He is pro ready. I don't see many rookie WRs who are ready to contibute from day 1. Cooks, watkins and maybe a few more.

I asked but didn't see anyone answer. I heard CBs coming out of the Nebraska system take a little longer than usual to get up to NFL speed. You know anything about that?

Stanley Jean-Baptiste SJB as we know is 2 years into learning the CB position. even though at times it is obvious that the switch is not natural to him he shows a solid football IQ to be were he is. At times he runs WR and not a defenders route and get burned big time.

Now introduce a professional route tree in the mix and i fear we will see him struggle even more. But I have faith in a few years he will be good enough to cover most WR in the NFL as long as they are not those fast Jitter bugs.

recognizing some of the more complex screens and run games will also expose his lack of aggressive play and limited reaction time while he learns.

the biggest issue though will be defending a pro route tree and knowing where your help is or not when defending. that in my opinion is the reason for the learning curve, running a route tree is easier than reacting to the route. that has to become more reactionary than reading were the WR is going.

trust at times you will wonder were the kids head is at but others you will see why they picked him.

Bucannon was hands down the best DB in the media rankings in this draft range, he is still my #2 DB in the draft. due to one thing. reactions in coverage. pro route tree should not give him much trouble. SJB will need time to stop being a WR at times and become a DB 100% of the time.

The more I read about him the more I kinda wonder about this pick. I hope he does learn fast. Like someone else said the CB position seems to take a couple of years for players coming out of the draft to start to play well anyway.

How can you not be over the moon about the selection. For months in conversations about the cornerbacks we would have the ability to draft his name kept coming up. Payton said that SJB was the best CB on there draft board at the time, and I believe him.... The only thing that would have made SJB a better pick was if in the fourth round when they picked they would have went cornerback again and selected Pierre Desir... because all SBJ would have to do then is cover lumbering WRs and Tight Ends.... Desir went one pick after Khairi Fortt....

I think yes he is a project to be a #2. But there's no pressure. Corey White, Patrick Robinson, and Champ Bailey can split #2 CB snaps while this kid learns...... By the way his got a great set of teachers..... Rob Ryan, Keenan Lewis, and Champ Bailey..... he's gonna be covering Lumbering TE's and WR's while he gets accustomed to the route trees of the better receivers in the leugue... but what has the NFC south become but Lumbering TE's and WRs.... ( Kelvin Benjamin, Mike Evans, Vincent Jackson, Roddy White etc)

Why?

As I understand it the Nebraska system is that different... I am ignorant to the reality of it so I am asking.
