Brianmoorman4jesus Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 A signing like this would certainly make me feel a little bit better about FA. We would pretty much be able to get away with not drafting a corner early and would minimize the loss of Gilmore. If Clayborn stays healthy you have him and Darby on the outside with Seymore in the slot. White rolling in as the next guy up at either position. Hyde at SS and Poyer/rookie at FS. Not great but not terrible. Not forcing our guys to play man on the outside constantly should help our back end. If we pull this signing off, I may be inclined to feel pretty confident in our back end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

purple haze Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Â when gambling you have to account for the risk. In this case. injury. at that dollar point you are depending on this guy to play. I too would like to get him here. But at a price where I still get another fellow who can play a couple game on the boundary. Obviously i am risk adverse , And terrible gambler ! You make sense. But I'm not advocating they sign him to a long term, big money deal. I'm saying a one or two year deal with a lot of incentives, mainly tied to games played. And they should still draft a CB or two because this draft is deep in quality at that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Estro Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 We have to be careful signing anyone because we're trying to get compensatory picks. Can you imagine the horror of getting a free 3rd and 4th round pick? What kind of dumb team would want that right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrinkinBuddy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 This dude has the lowest wonderlic score of all-time. He's a man corner and will be asked to play zone. His ability to learn should be questioned. He doesn't seem like a very good fit imo.  Chris Leak — QB — Wonderlic Score: 8. ... Vince Young — QB — Wonderlic Score: 6. ... Oscar Davenport — QB — Wonderlic Score: 6. ... Frank Gore — RB — Wonderlic Score: 6. ... Edward 'Pig' Prather — S — Wonderlic Score: 5. ... Darren Davis — RB — Wonderlic Score: 4. ...

I don't care if he knows how old Billy-Bob is based off of Jim-Bob and his WV cousins sisters husbands age being twice the half of his.

CowgirlsFan Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I'm over guys that are always injured. Â I wouldn't even bother. You need guys that are going to be on the field. When a guy has missed this much time in his career, just forget about it. Exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious questions, is there any free agents you would sign? I mean we lost 20+ guys to FA. Is it not impossible to fill with 6 draft picks this year?

Big C Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I do worry about this guy's health. I'd rather sign Brandon Carr for a 1-2 year deal. He's older, but he hasn't missed a game in 5 years and I'd say he's the better player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Severely underrated by those with an inability to connect the need to think with the ability to play football. Football is a sport followed by lots of old school. "tough guy" types who severely undervalue brains. This guys had a four. He was a first round physical talent and hasn't lived up to it. Huh. Coincidence? The Peter principle applies to football too and brains are the common factor. Â You want a moron playing CB, expect the results people have seen with this guy.

The game is SO complicated now that guys who were good like Kelly, Marino and McNabb couldn't play anymore because their wonderlic was too low. Oh and I almost forgot! And, then there is the too high of a wonderlic crowd. There actually is a window between a score of 20-29 where all players should come from!

Saint Doug Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Some of these universities should be ashamed of themselves.
