Default Bill Parcells' Draft special: interesting 1st round CB grades

I checked it out last night and there were a few interesting tidbits, but imo none more interesting than his 5 CB's with 1st round grades:

Morris Claiborne
Stephon Gilmore
Janoris Jenkins(red flag)
Dre Kirkpatrick
Chase Minnifield

The last one naturally jumped out at me as well, considering our secondary in 2011 and the fact that BB comes from the parcells coaching tree makes this a very interesting draft grade. This guy has been projected as late as the 4th round, so BB could see value there in the late 2nd or early 3rd if he shares Parcells' belief that this guy has 1st round ability.

Thoughts?

If BB believes Minnifield is a 1st round prospect he won't wait until the late 2nd. He'd take him at 27, 31 or early 2nd if he was the highest rated prospect on his board.

edit: Much to the dismay of many here

Burfict in the 2nd. All credibility lost.

Burfict would be an overdraft in anything after the 7th at this point.

I don't think his board is necessarily geared toward the 2 gap 3-4 system. Its kind of a mixed bag of personnel. Did the kid get caught smoking crack while choking a minor? What did I miss?

I think Minnifield projects better as a free safety than a CB, due to the lack of foot speed.

1 ~ MinniField in the 1st?

2 ~ Burfict in the 2nd??

3 ~ Moss in the 3rd???


Honestly, that Board reads like it hasn't been updated since October.

Keep Parcells away from the grocery shopping! He's a great coach but no so great as a talent evaluator. I'm still mad about the Marion Butts signing.

- Belichick coached his dad in Cleveland. Not sure that they maintained a relationship since, but Belichick may have an affinity for the Minnifield family.

- Even if he rates Minnifield highly, with the depth at CB you can almost certainly get him in the 2nd. And if you miss, there are plenty of consolation prizes available.

- Minnifield seems too slight (183) to play safety. Already have Gregory as a centerfielder and there should be better combo CB/S options (Fleming, Dennard) in the 2nd round.

- "Chase" implies trailing your target. Not an optimal name for a CB. Kind of like Bob Walk in baseball or Jason Dufner in golf.
