johnwalter Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 He's a sore topic for me. Sal didn't even mention him today when he was talking DB depth. I also had him pegged as a future star. Guys, he shut down Mike Evans when A&M played Duke!
Beerball Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 Not Harvin? Let him run routes & get a few carries/game. That's why I said I'm in the minority. I know it's football and stuff happens, but, I'd hate to see Harvin get hurt returning a kick. I said the same thing about Sammy this time last year.

3rdand12 Posted May 27, 2015 Posted May 27, 2015 I know I'm in the minority but I'd prefer Darby (assuming he's decent) or Thigpen returning kicks. McCorner would not be on my list. exactly correct. On air fine. as a back up fine. but not to risk the CB full season with a potential injury. Thing is he can run ; )

Mark Vader Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I didnt say THE worst but I think he will be up there CBF Joe Panos? Cornell Green?
boyst Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 In a 7 round draft a 4th round pick should be a contributor to your team. They've gotten virtually nothing from him thus far and it looks as if it'll remain that way w/o a major upset.I would not say it is an upset until we give him another year or two. CB is a big step up in the NFL and he played st Duke. He has the mind and the ability to play just needs to catch up to the speed. I don't think he will be an all star but think he will be good enough to play depth and play packages.
Mark Vader Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Don't forget me! You were a draft pick, not a free agent acquisition. You have an excuse.
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Was Ross Cockrell a wasted 4th round pick? Seems to me as if he has very little chance to make the roster with the way things currently are. I know! Especially after the immediate impact felt by fellow fourth round picks Easley, Seacry, Bradham and Duke Williams! A fourth round pick not immediately producing after one season? Bust! Kim is cheap!
Lurker Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Was Ross Cockrell a wasted 4th round pick? Seems to me as if he has very little chance to make the roster with the way things currently are. Based on the fact he hasn't been interviewed or spoken about by the media...or that the coaching staff has determined he can't play??
26CornerBlitz Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 Based on the fact he hasn't been interviewed or spoken about by the media...or that the coaching staff has determined he can't play?? Based on who is likely ahead of him at CB.....Gilmore, McKelvin, Darby, Robey, and maybe Brooks.
GG Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Based on the fact he hasn't been interviewed or spoken about by the media...or that the coaching staff has determined he can't play?? The two are usually correlated. If he's not visible to the media during these sessions or the coaches don't utter a word about him at all, that could be a sign. All of the above mentioned 4th rounders had some contributions as rookies (except for Easley due to his mystery illnesses). There hasn't been a peep about Cockrell this spring, and the numbers don't stack in his favor, because he's behind - Gilmore, McKelvin, Darby, Robey, Brooks & Graham. Based on who is likely ahead of him at CB.....Gilmore, McKelvin, Darby, Robey, and maybe Brooks. jinx

Fitz part deux Edited May 28, 2015 by YoloinOhio
Lurker Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Based on who is likely ahead of him at CB.....Gilmore, McKelvin, Darby, Robey, and maybe Brooks. Brooks has more experience, but as a fellow 4th round pick, it likely comes down to one of those two for the fifth CB position. Coming out of Duke, Cockrell was more of a zone CB or even FS-type so he may not be a good fit for Rex's scheme...
