My guess is the drop off is bigger in the later.

I don't really like the idea of going DB in the 1st. If a big time safety is there, okay..but I'd prefer some more pass rushers or an athletic MLB. Corner is deep in free agency, and if you strike early in free agency there's some really quality guys at safety too. Jairus Byrd? Louis Delmas? There's proven commodities to be had.

There isnt a player in FA I would love to sign more than Byrd but he wants big money and I just can't see it happening. The Browns are after him and have loads of free cap space to pay him with.

If the Browns get him maybe they let TJ Ward walk. Still a major upgrade. We move Kenny to FS, let Ward run SS, and we're set.

I hate him already.
He is called Beckham (cant stand the soccer player) and he maybe like Smith.

Slightly going off point for a second but why can't you stand david beckham?

For all he has done for soccer and for the UK I think the guy is awesome and gets alot of unwarranted hate

Okay thats fair enough, I think he let his soccer career go on way longer than it should have done but as a person I've always thought he seemed genuine

So... if he bit someone, you'd feel better about him?

Currently Beckham is ranked the 27th best prospect.

NFL Draft - 2014 NFL Draft Prospects - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com

Hmmm, 27th huh?

Analysis
STRENGTHS: Smooth athlete with very good acceleration to get up to top speed quickly. Terrific shake and burst out of his cuts to beat press and do something after the catch - dangerous with the ball. Excellent vision with dynamic moves. Good footwork, timing and depth in his routes to create separation and catch the ball well in stride.

Much improved hands, doing a nice job elevating and extending to snare the ball from the air - large catching radius and tracks well. Ball appears to slow down for him at the catch point, making fluid adjustments with natural body control.

Speedy and explosive return man on special teams with vision, awareness and toughness to create - two career punt returns for scores. Consistent production all three seasons at LSU with career-highs in 2013.

WEAKNESSES: Only average height and overall body strength - room to get stronger. Lacks elite speed and can be caught from behind by NFL DBs. Timid at times over the middle.

Has improved leaps and bounds catching the ball with his hands, but he will still have the occasional drop off his mitts. Missed blocking assignment and needs technique work in this area.

Room to improve his judgment and consistency fielding punts. Only 12 career receiving scores in 34 career starts.

COMPARES TO: Cecil Shorts, Jacksonville Jaguars - Beckham and Shorts are both exciting players with the ball in their hands and have shown steady improvements catching the ball over the years.
