    Do not know much about him, but after looking him up he is what we need as a #2. 5'10" 190 is a decent size db. His combine numbers were not top tier, but his tape shows a guy who is a gamer, good pick in the 3rd. Its also nice to see the so called experts say this is a great pick!

      I recall AJ Green outrunning Haden when he was out of shape but don't know what your talking about. Haden is guarding the opposing #1 no matter how tall.. 5'10" is appropriate. Good 4.5 40 time with cover skills.

            No, Mathieu would have been a shitty pick here. We have no one to keep him in line. Zona does

              Our db was not a bad pick, Tyrann, has a lot of growing up to do. he may be good, but he was not a must get for us.

                Honey Badger blows. Our small corners will be fine with our 14 pass rushers creating havoc.

                Minnifield was small and from a basketball school too.

                Lombardi is showing balls taking guys he likes regardless of where they are slotted.

                  Are you listening to this guy, Mathieu, talk? He graduated college? Are you kidding me. He sounds like a total bust.

                    It is amazing that no matter who we pick people bitch! All I read for months was we need a CB we need a CB. Well we got one! And the analysts say it is a good pick just like many said Mingo was a good pick! So far so good from my perspective. It must be tough for some of you living your lives while being so damn negative all the time.

                              Solid 3rd rounder. Drafting Mathieu would have been a bad fit for us given how small Skrine is. Adding another 5'8 guy would not be good.

                              McFadden is average size for a corner and has good enough skills to be a solid #2 corner. He will start day 1 across Haden. Exactly what we needed. Hopefully, a decent FS or G are available early tomorrow for us.

                                agreed....if it was a later round in the draft maybe 6 or 7 then the risk vs. reward might be worth it......Still not sure about Mathieu's cover speed and height though, also non-existent twice against Bama in the biggest games...

                                    Here are some highlights for McFadden. Maybe it will make the whiners feel better. LOL.

                                      Size doesn't matter if you don't know how to get into position and use it. From his highlight reel is seems that McFadden gets himself into a good position on a consistent basis. I love the pickup and hopefully if he works hard he can start opposite Haden.

                                        Judging by this pick, our corners are going to be asked to be on an island all day. There were many better overall corners on the board, but McFadden is highly ranked as a man cover corner.

                                        Don't like this pick either, but I like it more than Mingo.
