2021 Draft - Corners

[Bolt Dude]

You are slathering over straight line speed.

Have a look at the Rams DBs.

They play assignment football, which does NOT prioritize athleticism.

Aww, but I like slathering.

Ha ha ha ha.
Where's Fabian Washington when I need him ?
OK at least I agree with you about the importance of tackling.
Your ideal Slot Corner sure sounds like Des King.

I’d still take Molden over Vincent as a slot defender 10/10. Yes, Vincent’s faster but Molden is smarter and a much better tackler. Aaron Robinson looks to be an excellent slot defender as well. In a lot of pundit’s eyes he may have cemented himself as the #1 nickel prospect in the draft after that Senior Bowl week. I still prefer Molden. And my guess is that he runs a 4.55.

Out of the league. Couldn't cover well.
I agree,... We do need CBs who can run with Tyreek Hill but if they can't cover, it's not as good.
I like players who play faster than they are. Problem is Hill plays as fast as he is lol.

Have a look at the forty times of the Rams DB population.

You and Bolt Dude are out to lunch.

Ramsey was deficient vs Green Bay's Adams. Why ? Aaron Donald's ribs. That's why.

Staley talked to Derwin about disguise, not straight line speed.

gusD has left the building. Get a grip on our new defensive concepts.

I understand what Staley ran last year with the limited personnel he had. I say give the genius the best players possible not just guys that functioned in his system previously. He is not in the NFCW anymore. He needs to the tools to compete/dominate the AFCW.

Disguise is made much simpler when you have tools to run a multi-layered scheme.
This is a turnover offseason. Let’s restock/upgrade with more youth, speed, athleticism, ballskills, ascending not declining skillsets, and with a hunger to be part of something special.

The talent on the Rams at DB was limited. I’m sure Staley would prefer more talent, speed, athleticism if the players are intelligent, high motor, coachable as well. I vote for giving him the best talent and letting him figure out how to use it.

Right.
And players that are both athletic and instinctive go in earlier rounds.
But even Ramsey needs his multi DPOY Donald.
My issue here is that TT's recent round 1 & round 2 picks are not good fits.
That being Tillery and Adderley.
They both have some elite traits, but Staley will be hard pressed to find roles.

Tillery I agree with. A limited PRS type player is his best fit. He can be effective in that limited role.

Nasir is a really good fit. His ability to play center field, 1/2 field, NCB, and tackle are solid. He’ll have less responsibility from play to play will hopefully increase his processing speed.

Derwin is our special talent on the backend that Staley will move all over.

So Pitts has to show more ?
I have seen enough of Nasir already.
Watch Honey Badger and your guy Thornton put on a show in Tampa this weekend.
Book it.

[Boltjolt]

Funny, I wanted us to sign Honey Badger. Was told he wasn't a good fit lol

I wanted us to sign D', Zarius Smith too. Maybe they should ask me about those things.

Trade Tillery for a 3rd round pick?

Thornhill is playing solid hard nosed football and rounded into form last 5 games plus playoffs after his injury recovery. He hurt Ekeler in the final game. Definitely would have preferred Juan over Nasir on draft day.

I’d make that trade in a heartbeat.

Didn't you like both Smith's ?
I'll go 4th rounder...
