By SI, you mean Dr. Z? Forgive me if I'm less than impressed. Don't forget that the Patriots scheme turned Ty Poole into a borderline Pro Bowler in the '03 season and Poole was a pretty average CB too.
Dr. Z charts every player on his all-pro teams over the course of at least 8-10 games. He was the first to identify Mankins as the best OG in the NFL, in 2006. He was the one who identified Seymour's declining play before it became fashionable.
Samuel coverage ability stood out as a rookie, and his subsequent career path validates Dr. Z's early opinion. You shouldn't dismiss his evaluations of NFL players so flippantly.
