Minniefield Dropping Like A Lead Ballon?

roach

i've got to chime in here.

First, let me say that i've never seen Chase play and so i have no idea whether we should draft him (or whether anyone should draft him). But his papa was something special. i've said it many times here before- Frank was the best CB that i've ever seen play- period. He covered like glue. Also, he was the best tackler on the team. He never missed a tackle. He was a student of the game and seemed to enjoy teaching younger players during the game (without calling them out or embarassing them). i always thought he would end up being a coach. He was a total class act.

i hope Chase has a good career with somebody. i want to cheer for the guy, so i hope he ends up outside of our division.

Drafting a guy because Pops played for the Browns is a bad idea.

I don't think the kid is that good.

Yeah, I'm so glad we didn't take Clay Matthews or Casey Matthews.

I was fully in Clay Jr.'s camp. IMO we eff'd up big-time passing on one of the finest examples of HGH use in recent memory for our 3-4. However, we corrected that mistake by going to the 4-3...

Casey? Not so much. Closer to Chase than Jr....

And WhoTF wants a DB named "Chase"? Terrible choice...

The CB class is very deep this year, easy to get lost in the shuffle.

CB's Deep? A mere three to four players deep by most accounts...

It is actually deep, just because everyone one of them isn't considered a 1st and 2nd round pick doesn't mean they are not good. Honestly I don't see a huge drop off until after Minnefield.

Take a look at this list: http://www.football.draft-hub.com/players?position=CB

Guys like Hayward, Hosley, T. Johnson, Steed, Bentley, J. Robinson and a few others all have great potential in the 2nd-5th range. Deep class.

Better that than "Lose".

There's about 5 guys on this board that are all over his junk and wanted to take him at 22. I've said all along he's not worthy of a pick any higher than 3 but better off for the 4th. I'm glad I'm not the only one that's against reaching for a guy just because his dad played for the Browns....

I was for drafting him where he was slotted. Last year he was considered a top 20 pick and before the season was over he was an early 2nd. The ONLY reason his stock has dropped was because he was smaller than Virgina had him listed at (most schools do that shit) and because he has been injured for most the off season and can't post any numbers other than bench press.

I find it really funny how NO stepped out and said anything negative about the kid until his stock started to drop because of offseason workouts. What I REALLY can't believe is how some people still think Burfict would be a great pick in the 4th round but think Minnifield is a bad one in the 3rd/4th.

I say draft him and them let him get the shit kicked out of him by the idiotic dawg pound his crucial penalty committing Father created.

Seriously, he blows, The kid is a midget and afraid to hit.

Those traits didn't stop Deion Sanders from making the HOF. If he can cover receivers like Deion then it won't matter.
