Kiper reviews DB's

I hope this hasn't been posted already. I checked and did not find it.
I know Kipers judgement on players isn't always good, but at least you see some video and learn the names of some of the top prospects.

I like CB Aqib Talib.

Good thread

Wrong forum. Moving it

kiper's a decent judge of talent. i don't like talib that much though. DRC baby!

thanks for the link.

I like Aqib Talib, although I haven't been as impressed by him at the combine as I was with others. Imo DRC really stepped up at the combine and he definitely impressed me, but I'm somewhat wary of him because the old rule of thumb that says players who have greatly improved their draft stock at the combine don't necessessarily translate into great professional players.

He still has my boy Brandon Flowers up there. If he's around in the 2nd he would be a good pick, but given the talent at DE,WR & OT (+ B. Albert), I can't see him going in the 1st.

The thing is he was the best CB at the senior bowl and then he proceeded to sh*t on everyone else at the combine.

With a little tutelage, weight room activity, and practice, he could easily be one of the top CB of the last 5-10 years.

Talib falls into the early 2nd round IMO

So that one play makes him a sorry CB? If thats the case Carlos Rogers needs to be released now.

I'm not 100% sold on Talib. It sounds like he'll excel in certain zone schemes and may have a hard time facing speedsters in man-to-man coverage. That being said, we shouldn't avoid him just because there's a youtube video of him getting toasted.

well, i think the thing with DRC is it'll be his 2nd or 3rd season before he starts to get good at his job in the NFL. the payoff (long term) would be worth it though.
