Yes that's his upside. His biggest downside is he's not really a playmaker. Doesn't have a nose for the ball (5 INT in 4 years). But I think he will fit in our system well because we roll the SS a lot esp. in nickel/dime.
Because there are myriad DE/OLB prospects left on the board in rounds 2-4 while CB... not so much?
Kind of you to give BB the benefit of the doubt that when his film review, study and assessment of 2 players is different than your that you accept there may be a chance he is the one who is right.
"His run support will be an improvement over James Sanders, Brandon McGowan and Pat Chung, and while this wasn't the Pats' biggest need he is a prototypical New England player: tough and versatile."
This is the quote on McCourty through NFL Scouts Inc. on ESPN.
I can only hope that he knocks runners on their butt harder than Brandon McGowan and Pat Chung.
Well if they keep drafting corner backs every year they may get it right sometime. Hobbs, Wheately, Wilhite, Butler, signing Bodden and Springs . . .
Before you start calling anyone a mental midget, tell me what the result of our last game was. A butt whooping of unbelieveable proportion on our own home field to a team that got whipped the next week at Indy. Fella, we have to get a whole heckuva lot better to be elite again. A whole lot better and need to stop ignoring the fact that the only OLB we have on this team is TBC and our only TE if Alge Crumpler.
Revis would not help if the Pats have the same pass rush next year.
Hobbs was a 3rd round pick, and we got more than 3rd round value.
Wheately has not worked out so far.
Wilhite was a 4th and as such has been decent.
Butler? You are complaining about him?
My God, we had 3 #1s on the DL and trade one of them and everyone is crying about the glaring need (even when we have 2 starting caliber players there in Wright and Lewis) at DE.
Yet, since we drafted 4 corners in the 3rd, 4th, 2nd and 2nd over the last 5 years we shouldn't have a need.
What about those who say a first round pick should be a 3 down player?
Seeing that the Pats D played in the nickle and dime 54% of the time last year, he will.
Revis is a primary reason they have a good pass rush.
Why bother being interested at all if we're just supposed to chant in BB we trust over and over. And at this point based BBs actual track record of drafting cornerbacks, why would you be confident now? Hey, I hope he's Revis, Steve Tasker and Devin Hester all rolled into one.
