Everyone here knows I wanted a speedy LB for that reason Hagan.

I'm stoked we go Cooks instead. Who I'm not stoked on is Jean Baptiste. Hope I'm wrong...

Besides, the number of safeties coupled with the return of Robinson could be all that's needed to cover that well-documented deficiency of last year's D.

In regards to our middle round picks; does anyone else think we drafted to improve our special teams? I mean, that unit was paltry last year but adding guys like Sunseri, Fortt and Powell could be exactly what that unit needs.

The problem is that I think it'll take a couple, maybe three years to fully develop. If he doesn't produce like a pro-bowler in year one, many people will proclaim him to be a bust and we shoulda picked so and so, and I told ya' so...

Look how many people proclaim Corey White (a 5th rounder) to be a bust after only one year (and yes, I'm purposely ignoring the Spag season).

The what season?

I think with corey, I tend to compare his play to that of malcolm jenkins (obviously malcolm was a first rounder though)

They both give 100% effort on the field, they both have plays that made you think "WOW, maybe the light bulb has come on" and then have an equally as bad play that makes you cringe.

Corey's still young, he needs some time. For a 5th rounder he has tons of potential, consistency is his downfall in my opinion

And that is what you typically get out of a mid-late round CB. To even see as much playing time as he has is testament to his talent.

This year we should see that consistency improve quite a bit, especially now that we look pretty deep at CB and Ryan can use all of our CB's to their strengths.
