34th Overall Pick

From that list, I want us to look at:


5. Alterraun Verner TEN CB 25
6. Jairus Byrd BUF S 27
8. Brian Orakpo WAS OLB 28
10. Jared Veldheer OAK OT 27
11. Aqib Talib NE CB 28
16. Eugene Monroe BAL OT 27
18. Brandon Spikes NE ILB 26
22. Alex Mack CLE C 28
23. Captain Munnerlyn CAR CB 26
24. Eric Decker DEB WR 27
26. Sam Shields GB CB 26
28. Hakeem Nicks NYG WR 26
31. Brent Grimes MIA CB 31
35. Vontae Davis IND CB 26
37. Jon Asamoah KC OG 26
46. Austin Howard NYJ OT 27

He says he is DEFINITELY going to test the FA market, and I like this:

According to Pro Football Focus, quarterbacks have a 54.7 passer rating while throwing at Verner. Only Richard Sherman has a better mark.

Richard Crawford also missed the entire season and I had a feeling he was going to be one of our starters as well.

True. I also forget he was a pretty nasty PR.

Interesting. I had thought about Talib, but since I haven't really heard Verner's name, I assume he's WAY less of a head case.

My thoughts exactly, also he is younger.

Sam Shields has similar number to Verner, and wants to get paid after the GB snubbed him last year with a 1 yr RFA contract.

There are certainly a few options out there at corner, and we have some room to play with, and they aren't ancient like Deion was, and I really hate how we haven't had a shutdown corner in years, and. . .

We need to take the BPA. Or, with the second pick in the second round, make a trade back to pick up picks in the inevitable scramble to the front of round 2.

Not the dreaded trade back! How many times have we screwed that up?

FA first. Then assess the remaining positions of need. Then draft the BPA at a position not addressed in FA. But what do I know?

I agree with you about getting crazy trading back. However, there seems to be potential to move back (not far) for good reward at the top of round 2 with the way the draft is spread out now.

For example, this is what happened with the 2nd pick in the second round last year:

No. 34: San Francisco → Tennessee (D). San Francisco traded this selection to Tennessee in exchange for Tennessee's second- (40th) and seventh- (216th) round selections in the 2013 draft, along with Tennessee's third-round selection in the 2014 draft

Since I've been doing it all day, let me throw one more name out. SHAWN SPRINGS! :D

That sounds alright depending on who is left on the board. 6 picks back can mean a lot in the second round, or it could mean very little.

He WAS a shutdown, probably not in football shape though . . . lol
