SportingNews.com on DRC

The bottom line is that DRC is a risk, just like all players you draft are a risk. I think he is a bigger risk than some of the other top 5 CBs in the draft. He has raw speed and a higher upside, but you draft in the 1st round on NFL readiness AND upside. Especially at 10. If we were drafting at 25+ like last year, I might say look at the kid who has that upside. 2nd round? Especially there. First round, I want someone who has proven on tape and with measureables that he can PLAY and he has TALENT.

I don't know who that is, but DRC doesn't seem to be that person when you look at the tape (according to a lot of "experts", not just one). He may end up being a STAR in the NFL, but you can't say that for sure by what we know now.

My only hope is that Dorsey, Ellis, Rivers, Long or Gholston are there at 10. Other than that, I don't know who REALLY has shown to be worth the top 10 pick on defense. At that point, IF we can find a willing partner, I say trade back 5 or 10 picks and get something out of that 7-9 record.
