Sirius NFL Radio guys liked the Duke pick. Pat Kirwan says explosive athlete, ridiculous speed for a safety; Gil Brandt likes him better than Shamarko Thomas (Mel Kiper's best available). Rangy athlete, can help big time on special teams. Can move around really well, lots of plays behind line of scrimmage.

Sounds like a pettine type player (starting to get an image of what that means)

I love that we actually pick defensive players that have character issues. News flash: being a little bit savage is better than having a defense filled with high motor character guys.

Another pick thats tough to argue with. Like NoSaint said, its quite obvious pettine wants a particular type of player and attitude for his defense, and its been reflected in these 2 defensive picks.

I still don't get why being drunk or bad at school makes you a better defender. Ill take a guy doing charity work and a beast on the field without thinking twice. Problem is we've been spotty at on field evaluation. Hopefully that is what changes, as its all that matters.

NFL Network quotes

 

"tough hitter will take your head off"

 

"had multiple off-field issues - reason for his drop"

 

"can't believe he wasn't invited to Senior Bowl"

 

"heard multiple teams were targeting him this round, good pick by Buffalo"

 

It seems like everyone though it was a very solid pick.
