Do you not understand the run on CB and the fact that McCourty has the potential to be a very rare and valuable 4 down player?
Looking at some mocks, he was projected as a late 2nd or 3rd round pick on average.
"NOT be a ST" ??? That's what he means by four down, isn't it ? 1st, 2nd, 3rd on defense and 4th on ST.
Im torn if i could have any player in the draft it would have been Dez Bryant. We picked up a ST'er...in the first round at that....How well did the brilliant Matthew Slater project work out again?
Right - I can't believe people here actually think that; just because you're a great ST player doesn't mean you can't do anything else. Honestly, I have been taken aback by the reaction to this pick - it's a passing league, we got a highly rated CB and a 3rd round pick and there's tons of pass rushers still sitting out there for our THREE #2s tomorrow.Let me rephrase... "not be JUST a ST."
Yes, I do know there are plenty of players left that can help the pass rush, I am not freaking out yet. Just a bit confused.
Just another homer comment from you, did you really ever even consider the Pats picking him, even taking a CB in round 1? You are acting like he is the next Revis
I am very disappointed, everyone here understand that he is a good player and will help us. But people a frustrate is because we could have gotten him later in the second and gotten a player WORTH a first round.

Will you ever grow the hell up from your childish "homer" comments? I mean really.
When did I ever even hint at him being the "next Revis"?

I think it's because when you hear "Oh and he's great on special teams" it's like being setup on a blind date and hearing "Oh and she's got a great personality, too!"
Doesn't mean he's a crappy player the other 3 downs (or the girl is ugly as hell) but it just sets off the *warning* signals in your head.
Based on what? Based on the fact that Kindle is still there when some thought it would take a move up from 22? Or based on the fact that Tyson Alualu, a player a lot of us loved with one of our 2nd round picks, was the 10th overall pick?
anyone who thinks we could have gotten him in the second is... OK I'll be nice this time, but go back and look at the CBs left. There is exactly a 0% chance he would have been available to us in the 2nd. There is a very high chance that the Jets would have taken him 2 picks later. The kid is a player, in as many aspects of the game as a CB can be.
Agreed. People think he would have been there in the 2nd? The Vikings said they thought about trading up for him. THe Jets wanted him. The Saints got stuck with Robinson. He would have been gone two picks later...
Because you are a homer, no shame in admitting it.
No one ever saw this pick coming or even drafting a CB in round one. People didnt have CB as a major need for the team. You are acting like you knew this all along.
You said that McCourty could be a "very rare and valuable 4 down player". How many defensive players can you say that about? Not many. I cant really be on McCourty already because he is a solid player, just not worth the Pats 1st round pick.
McCourty himself even said he didnt think he was going in the 1st round..
