That's become the rallying cry around here, but before the recent hype surrounding DRC I was absolutely convinced that Talib was the best cornerback in this draft. I'm not so sure that's still not the case, but I think both will be very good.
Honestly, with the wood so many people around here seem to have for DRC, I would prefer that the Patriots just pick him so I don't have to listen to people whine for months afterward.
just saw it on ESPN.
BAD PICK REISS!

I live in lawrence and have watched Talib play for 2 years now. Trust me, he is not the best corner in this draft. I hope the patriots do not even think about drafting him. Does not like to tackle, gets burned A LOT. He has really bad footwork and has stiff hips. Teams threw on him all year, they did not throw away from him, which I want from a top 10 corner.
Yuck!!
Not a nock on DRC, but I am wary of anyone's stock that rises that quickly after the games are done playing. When the college season ended I believe he was a low 1 even a 2 and now he has been rising fast and why? That doesn't mean they aren't right just that I am wary.
Was this ON ESPN or summarized on espn.com?
I think it just happens that way with the small school kids sometimes. I doubt Roethlisberger was considered a near top 10 pick before the combine or closer to the draft. Same with DeMarcus Ware. Cromartie just played in 'Nowheresville' America. He didnt get seen. Probably didnt get pushed by the level of competition he needed to see. Im sure he got a bit lazy from time to time thinking he was just head and shoulders above his competition. But the kid either has the skills or he doesnt. And if we were to actually make a CB pick that high, Id either want it to be Cromartie or Mike Jenkins. Talib just looked clumsy at the combine to me with some of his footwork, and watching the replay of the kid from Missouri, who btw ran a 4.5 at the combine, just run away from him on a TD catch, no way Im even considering Talib that high. You take elite skill that high when you get a chance. Seymour was elite skill - size and power. Cromartie absolutely has elite speed. He'd be the fastest guy on this team wearing flip flops.

Out of curiosity, anyone know who was on the board at the time? Did he "pass" on Gholston?
