TC in St. Louis Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 Marv has set himself up to succeed with the drafting of Youboty...and Whitner. He's got Nate locked in for a year, and if Youboty fails to produce, or isn't ready, he will negotiate a long term deal with Nate, and give Youboty time to grow. Look at McGee....very good DB, great return guy. He'll be corner number 2 for a while. Clements stays for a year, we've got 2 very good corners a talented rookie learning the ropes, and other capable backups.
Astrobot Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 It also puts pressure on Nate to negotiate with the front office. We're covered both ways now. If he stays, we're set. If he goes, we're set. We even have a trade option if some CB goes down on a playoff-bound team.
silvermike Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 so, in 2007, we clearly have McGee-Youboty-Whitner all starting. But what about FS? Vincent will be very old by then, which means you're down to Baker/Greer/Leonard. Maybe not our problem yet?

ans4e64 Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 i agree, but you also should realize that it wasnt planned this way for a perfect scenario because nobody thought youboty would be there in the 3rd round. I dont know if that means anything, just thought i'd throw that in there.
d_wag Posted April 30, 2006 Posted April 30, 2006 can we at least watch youboty play a few downs before we annoit him the '07 starter?? nate has proven he can get it done........youboty hasn't proven anything....

LOL that's funny you say that 12 hours after we drafted those guys.
TC in St. Louis Posted April 30, 2006 Author Posted April 30, 2006 I think it buys him time to make the right decision. YOuboty is insurance, really. Injuries happen too.
