Which FA would you be most happy with?
I would respectfully disagree with this. I believe that the draft is stronger with linebackers who can come in an contribute right away as rookies. Rookie CBs, even the great ones need a season or two to develop in the NFL, with a few exceptions. I would prefer a veteran CB, and draft LB high.
Well you have me with the contribution part. LBers always have the best production early in thier careers. SO I will not even try and debate that. But I think the players at corner this year are better than the LBers. If 58 and 33 came out this year different story. But I like the corners more in this draft than I like the top of the LBer class. Actually I like the middle of the LBer class than I like the top. I think Keith Rivers is a good player, I think Ali Highsmight is a good player, Dan Connor is a good player. But there isn't anything flashy about any of them to me. I like the middle of the class with Jarred mayo and Curtis Loften more for this team. I like the Corners, Mike Jenkins is a good corner, Aqib Talib is a good corner, DRC is a good corner, Anton Cason is a good corner, and thier is also a good middle class with Brandon Flowers, and Patrick Lee. ALso they only way to get good corners at a reasonable price is to draft them, and usually eariler than later. You will see a LBer drafted late this year produce in the NFL somewhere. You don't need to spend the pick as early, talent can be had later. Although a stud LBer would be nice. (i.e. Briggs who I think was drafted in the 4th)
LOL, its funny tho, cause I am with ya I would rather a corner in FA too, I voted for Nnamdi, I just know he will be franchised. But just sheding some light why Briggs would be 2a. Briggs over those other Corners, and I am still holding out hope for Sedrick Ellis or Glenn Dorsey in the draft, tho unlikely.
The more I think about it, Corey Williams would probably be my 2a. Its harder to come by good DT's and one that can pass rush like that is something special. He would probably be my 2a. Guess it still dosen't change my vote of Nnamdi tho.
