I've been doing alot of research on Defensive prospects and I tell ya....There just doesnt seem to be a "can't miss" CB available when we pick.
In the first round, making me want Laurinaitis or Ellis @ #10.......
what I'm thinking:
Malcolm Jenkins -- I wasnt too impressed in the BCS....Lafell torched him a couple times.
he did have the pick with big return, but it was "garbage time". Not
worth a top 20 pick IMO.
Mike Jenkins -- Sort of the dark horse out of the CB prospects. Questions about quality
of opponents, play recognition, and recovery speed loom. Early 2nd
rounder IMO.
Antoine Cason -- this guy is an intriguing prospect....sort of like JAX CB Rashean Mathis.
depending on his workout #s....this could end up being our guy. Some
project him as a FS so let's check that 40 time.....
Terrell Thomas -- good prospect, but #10 is a reach. Projects more in the #20-#32 range.
Aquib Talib -- another good prospect with legit cover skills, but a disgusting reach
at #10. Talib will be a bit raw and not ready to start right away, but
if he's there in the 2nd, I wouldnt hesitate.
All 5 of these guys have big upside, but at #10, I just can't justify taking any of them.
