Haven't studied any tape yet, but what I have seen of him, he has the ability to be an extremely good safety. I think you tagged his problem, he's raw and needs to learn. He looked to me to be caught out of position on several plays, and this alone can make a player look bad at times. Bell is probably the better player right now, but no telling how good Kearse could be. I still like Craven.Originally Posted by Steelman

I agree, a CB will likely be there at the back end of the first round, but it won't be Fuller, and the question stands. Is White in the first round better than a Sutton, or King in the second. May be a choice they have to make.

If I am honest from where I sit after further study White is not a 1st round corner , he is not ready to start IMO at the NFL level , whomever takes him will need to use him in spot duty and he will need to grow into the starter role ..
clearly I could be wrong ( wouldn't be the first time ) but that is how I see him as a player today ...
If I knew King or Sutton would be there in round 2 I would go after one of them if Alexander isn't there for us in round 1 ( if he is there I pull the trigger ) if not I try and trade back in round 1 ( provided there is a place to trade back to ) and I target Cravens if he is there and he very well may be ....
if I can trade out of the first altogether under that scenario I would and Take whomever is there early in round 2 Cravens , Bell , Cash .....
but rankings are very fluid right now and will stay that way through the SR bowl and Combine .... but that doesn't change White's stock for me his measurable's doesn't change where he is in his development
I would love to pick up and extra 3rd rounder to get some D-Line help specifically end .... we sourly need some talented depth there and how sweet would it be to get some without using one of our base picks ....
CB-SS-O-Line -DE-CB in first 4 rounds would look mighty fine to me

I have feeling this exact scenario will sway them to avoid the choice and draft a lineman instead, which if on the defensive then I'm more than OK with. There seems to be quite a few good options that may stockpile toward the back end of the 1st. Jarran Reed, Jonathan Allen, Jonathan Bullard, Kenny Clark could all be options in that range. It's way too early to call, but if Sutton was available late 2 I'd be happy with that.
If you mean Desmond King from Iowa, maybe next year, cause he's staying.
Yea, I heard that this morning. I'm pretty happy about that.

Jayron Kearse was thoroughly unimpressive tonight.
he runs hot and cold ... an athletic freak who can make unbelievable plays but often plays uninspired and looks like just another guy ..
not sure what motivates him but if someone could harness that or bottle it they have an all world Safety , but its a big gamble because he could easily be the next never was ....
Has anyone heard of cornerback Eli Apple from Ohio State? I was looking at several mock draft sites and three of them had Eli as our number one pick. I was looking up information and looking at a little bit of film on him. He seems like he would be a good pick for us.

Apple is an interesting prospect but I don't think he's a 1st rounder. If he was available late 2nd though, I'd take him.
From what I've seen, mock drafts have him listed as a 1st to 2nd round draft pick. Like you said, if he is available in the 2nd round, take him. I think he would be a really good pick value wise in the second round.
Apple is a grabber , I fear he will be a penalty magnate at the next level ....
would rather have Boddy-Calhoun in the 3rd or 4th
why is nobody talking about Shaq Lawson? I love this kid, and i think OLB is one of the positions that we need (dont tell me we dont need depth when were counting on a 38 year old man to return, have a bit player in Moats, Jarvis Jones, and a raw but promising kid at OLB) that we cant fulfill in free agency. Its all scraps at OLB as far as free agents go

Will there be a SU 1st round mock draft this year?
TE Tyler Higbee got arrested for assault, fleeing police and public intoxication.
i still say bring him in with a 7th rounder/undrafted free agent if he's still there because of the potential. Could end up being the best tight end in the draft
Higbee sounds like a future Bengal to me...

I cant do it while writing for Stillcurtain.com....but I think we can find someone who is willing to do it. I just ask that whoever takes it on, does it diligence and really does their homework. I will talk to Admin and the Mods.
