Green worked this kid out and says his NFL material. Not to mention, he has better size than Young and almost the same speed. Like Young, Brown started TONS of games and has played a lot of football. I really like this kid as a darkhorse to make the 53. Talking about CB, let us not forget the wild card Porter. 200 meter champ in college and certainly has played better competition than Young, Jones and Brown. Porter said just recently that he has "re-dedicated" himself to football (track was a consideration for this kid) and feels he's ready to show what he can do.
Because we are so weak depth wise at SS, Shanle is going to get a real shot. The knock on him is his deep half coverage skills, but his strength is his run support ability which is exactly why I like his chances.
Ditto on Meachem. If the kid has even decent hands, our scheme will have him open on almost every play. I'm not just biased here, but I believe he will be an early candidate for OROY.
