The end of Maulet or Pierre most likely.
I hope Trice can really become something. I know he's a 7th round pick, but he has some real abilities and measurables.
He's 6'3" 206 lbs, 4.47 40 time, He is a 4-time Academic All-American, and this season was coming off of a knee injury in 2021. This is a smart, athletic kid....and his knee should be even better this year.
I hope he blossoms at the NFL level.
Another press corner with size and speed. I like it!!
Trice also has experience as a safety. Nice versatility there. Kinda surprised this kid lasted til the 7th round with that kind of size, speed, and athleticism. His knee injury may have had something to do with it?
I really like the value with this pick.
Formerly known as Fire Goodell
In the short term, I would have much rather had Sutton back at his contracted price with the Lions and lose out on Peterson considering one is in a stage of ascension and youth while the other is trending the other way.
But getting 2 excellent value picks at CB to get mentored by Peterson could easily end up paying dividends in the long terms. Really hope the Sullivan signing and Porter/Trice pick kick Witherspoon and Maulet off the roster
I wouldn’t. I was never a huge fan. I thought he always got more praise than his play was worth. Wasn’t bad but didn’t stand out from about 30 other CBs in the league.
Sutton was super valuable and good as flexible piece. Not many CBs who can play inside and outside with equal effectiveness.
But there were several games last season that exposed the biggest problem with Sutton as your highest paid CB....he is too physically outmatched by the genetic freaks that call themselves #1 WRs in the NFL. Sutton simply can not go toe to toe with players that inches taller then him and several steps faster.
Peterson once could. He still can on a good day where he also uses all his wily tricks. And hopefully he can teach Porter and Trice how to use their imposing size and length to reroute the freakshows at WR across the league.
MAYBE....AJ Brown doesn't singlehandedly rip the heart out of the defense again. Heck...Gabe Davis had a field day...
Tee Higgins went off in the second Bengals game. Not that you needed reminding of that.
Cam Sutton was a 4th Rounder in 2017 that only very just recently put it together. If Detroit wants to give big bucks to something like that, good for them. Sutton isn't facing freaks in the NFC North. I think he can manage.
