Include all of DBs and you can add Hyde and Poyer.

 

This regime's success with getting the most out of DBs far exceeds the failures. 

I would even add Levi Wallace. What they did with him coaching wise is impressive.

Can ewe stop already with the move Tre White to safety non-sense, the man is too small to play safety.

 

He's the same size as Jordan Poyer.

Really, Kaiir Elam ring a bell.

Elam was one miss.  Look at all the successes at cb.  A really strong track record.

This defense prides itself on being undersized at every position.

Sadly there is some truth to this comment.

And apparently the shoulder was mostly due to an infected needle - not injury prone bc small

Yea I was listening to Sal interview the Kentucky beat writer and when he said that I couldn’t believe it.  
 

So none of the draft guys who spend all their time doing this didn’t know that?  

 

says a lot

I love Buffalo plus.  Them being negative will not change that at all.  They have every right to be negative or critical.  All of our opinions are equal.

 

i just thought it felt like they were being contrarian just to be.  Kind of like how Dan said Kincaid is just a guy and last years offense will never be any good.

 

im a fan of Buffalo plus.  They just went overboard last night with the negativity.

Corner is never going to be a fun or sexy pick because it's such a defending position instead of an impact, attacking one.

But I gotta say, the more I see, the more I like this.

[njbuff]

He’s Nate Odomes with speed.

Man Greg Coselle is raving about hairston again just now on one bills live

[gjv]

Watching his film, he reminds me of Deon Sanders.

Well, I was aroused!  With the number of talented QBs in the AFC, CB is a super sexy pick.  Now go get a competent Safety!

Imo it’s an easy fit.  Off man and zone is what kept Elam off the field.  He is very good at it.  

 

Yeah......I don't get some of the people trying to compare him to Elam.  They couldn't be any more different as players.  Elam was a man coverage guy that had very little zone experience.  He was a handsy guy in college and was never able to shed that in the NFL.  And he never grasped zone concepts at all.  So, when you are a man coverage guy that can't play man very well and could never understand zone concepts, you are probably not going to work on a primarily zone scheme.

 

In contrast, Max is primarily a zone guy (over 75% of his coverage snaps were in zone) with good man coverage skills that can get better with proper coaching.  They are completely different prospects.  Comparing the 2 is just lazy.

DT first.  Gotta pressure more from the inside.  Then BPA

Maybe things are a bit different now with the reemergence of RBs.  But in the heyday of the passing league, the most important positions on defense were corner and edge.  I don't think it's much different now.  

[Nihilarian]

Double dip...no sir. I'd say go DT next, and then perhaps a safety. All depends on how the board falls. Don't forget that Beane needs to make a trade for a 3rd round pick.

I think CB is a fun pick as they can turn the game around with an Int with the bonus of it sometimes being a pick 6.

How would you rank them as far as fun picks?  I'd pry go QB, WR, RB, TE, CB, DE, S, OT, DT OG, C, K, P.

He doesn’t tackle like Poyer.  That’s not his game.
