i just think in the end he'll end up playin in cincy or new england....as great as it would be for him to fall to us....i just dont see it

I think the Patriots will likely select him leaving DRC as the best corner available for us to select should we stay at 10. It would be great to have him not only for his defensive play, but for the impact he could have on our return game. He could instantly be one of the best return men in the league possibly just behind Devin Hester from the moment he steps on the field.

thats very possible considering he ran a 4.27-40.....thats insane.....i think that immediately he will start as a returner leaving lance moore struggling to stay on the team...but i dont think DRC is ready, physically, to play in the nfl...he will lose tackles because he isnt thick and strong enough...i love his speed and i dont think it will drop that much after he puts on some pounds....i cant wait to see this kid in the future...whether the saints draft him or not

haha...again, it is you and i going back and forth....i think that DRC can contribute although not on an every down capacity...his physical play in tackling is a soft spot in his game although there are some nice shots delivered in his highlight video on CNNSI.com. I think that his ball skills is what will allow him to make an impact in his first season. I would expect his career to almost mirror the progression of his cousin from FSU Antonio.

haha i just noticed that too....the downfall of watching a highlight video is that its just that....highlights...it doesnt show how he plays on a consistent basis....if u watch clips of him that include his flaws you will notice that he jumps passes too much...i find that to be a big flaw too b/c nfl receivers and qbs will make u pay with cuts and pump fakes....DRC needs to bulk up...nobody argues that and tackling is a huge issue if he gets beat on a route since recievers are huge in the pros....i think he will be more of a nickel and dime guy than the 4-3 #2 corner that we need so desperatly.....in his first year i mean

BPA is Rivers over DRC or any RB outside of McFadden.
