What now at corner?

Crusader · 02-13-2014, 05:45 AM

I would like to see P-Rob play a year for Ryan before discarding him given he is healthy. He has all the talent in the world, he just needs to put everything together. White is an intriguing player too.

I would like to see Walt Aikens taken in the 5th round. He is in the mold of the modern day corner…….6'1" 205 lbs., 4.4-4.5 40 and aggressive at the point of attack. He is very athletic and can play jump ball with the best WRs as he was a point guard at Illinois before transferring to FCS (Liberty University).

Yeah I don't think we'll go with a rookie CB.

Corey White. Next Man Up!!

Settle down lol. lawd!

We fared very well for the last 7 games of the season with out him and didnt see any drop off in our pass defense.

Greer graded out worst than Lofton on pass coverage for 2013, and his coverage rating is lower than Corey Whites..

I do not get the fondness.

How so, it was our number one need..... Many in here predicted defense as the first round pick.... OLB or secondary help.

Neither do I, it's astounding.... There wasn't a drop off in play.....Jabari was getting picked on since before last season...... He was moved because Keenan is better, hasn't played in a full season in the last two or three seasons.... It's time.

Why not, if a rookie cb shows he can adapt to the defense quickly then he should start......

It seems like people only remember White's first game after Greer got hurt. After that he seemed to figure things out and was actually really good.

I think people's perceptions are also skewed by him being a fifth-round draft pick from a small school, so they assume he can't be any good. Same for Strief, who by all accounts is one of the top right tackles in football, but to hear some people talk he is straight trash. If any team's fans should know better it's Saints fans, considering how much the team is built around low picks and undrafted guys.
