G-Dawg Riser.......cb Jonathan Banks-Miss. State

I like how Poyer thought he had the angle to catch Goodwin on that reverse (play :50 second mark Texas v. oregon state video) and then Goodwin turned on the jets. You're not catching Marvelous Marquise, Poyer, nobody is.

But the HUSTLE. With more and more guys jogging if the play isn't on their side of the field nowadays, seeing a guy with 4.5 speed take off with reckless abandon to try and catch a guy with 4.2 speed - and almost SUCCEED - is very impressive to me. Goodwin is just too fast, man. tongue.png

Biggest issue with Poyer to me is his inconsistency tackling and shedding blocks on WR screens...but come on, with a CB, those are tiny complaints. I see so much Grimes in his game it's crazy. What bodes especially well is how many INTs come in the NFL off of undercutting routes and his penchant for doing so, just like Grimes. In college ball, very few corners have the reaction time necessary to do that on a regular basis.

Biggest issue with Banks is he could probably be taken in the 2nd round. We should be able to nab him as our 2nd pick. Better yet, we could trade back and get him and in return get another 2nd pick or a 1st next year.

I like Banks. I think his biggest upside is the fact his stats came against SEC teams whereas Trufant worked against west coast bs QBs.

Either way, Banks is worth a 1st rounder, but barely. I think there are other options that allow us to draft banks without spending the #30 pick on him, and the money a 1st rd pick demands.

That's Dimitroffs job.

We're going to need 2 CBs out of this draft. Probably need to get both in rounds 1-4, because they will probably both have to play in their first year. I'll let TD do the picking, but I think Trufant in the first is a good start. Remember "speed kills".

That isn't happening by any stretch of the imagination.

Does the team really want a zone-only CB? If this was BVGs defense I could see taking him but Nolan mixes it up with plenty of man coverage. Would this kid be a liability in man packages?

Don't get sucked into that label. Yes, man coverage might be a weakness of his but, that doesn't mean he can't improve.

I don't buy that Jonathan Banks is a "zone" guy only. Banks plays in a zone system so that means that is all he can do? really?
