Our DB's could be solid unit.

Looking forward to the d this year. When the offense wasn't putrid last season they played damn good.
The additions from the draft and fa should round us out to a very good d. Just need the offense to be semi productive so they're not on the field the whole game.
-
Better be! They sacrificed the WR core for it! They will be called on to carry the team without legit targets for Manziel. RB's might look good, but if you can't streach the field it doesn't matter. Miles Austin HAS done big things, but he's also been hurt most of the time.
It is an exciting DB unit!

I like Skrine in the slot, he struggle covering bigger recievers on the edge at times.
Never really saw him get beat deep alot unless there may have been a double move only get penalized for not playing the ball. He fast enough to run with the best just needs to turn his head sooner.
Skrine did improve he made some key stops on drives that allowed the defense to get off the field at times. Unlike the previous year.
I just dont see him as the #2 corner against teams with two good recievers playing outside.
I would love to see how they work Desir in the rotation. He as potential.
-
Skrine was targeted by opposing coordinators and will be this year. He is small, not good at coverage and will be an easy target

With one of the best corners in the league on one side and a top 10 draft choice ( and top DB in this class IMO) on the other side. This should def be an outstanding group. I believe Skrine will be much, much improved after moving to the inside. He has great speed and covering the 3rd or sometimes 4th reciever on opposing teams will be a bit more in his league. He should be way more competitive against those guys than his previous 2 years. I personally think Desir is a freak and an absolute steal in the 4th round. He is gonna see the field alot as the 4 or maybe some at the 3. He doesnt possess the speed of Skrine but is worlds apart in physicality and coverage / ball skills. We should have one of the top corner crews in the NFL.
Our safteys also are nothing to laugh at. Gipson came a long way last year and I for one am very comfortable with him out roaming the field, ball hawking for us, and he is good at it. Whitner........... well.................. its whitner, not great but just as good as Ward and that was not a weak spot by any means. Maybe could argue that Ward wasnt very good at coverage and IMO whitner is a drastic improvment in that regard. Ward to Whitner loses nothing in run support either. Man just sittin here talking about this pumps me!!!!! I think wait till next year is finally here... WAIT TILL THIS YEAR

I just have a bad taste in my mouth from Skrine. Might as well call him fast slippery Willey. Speed and being short doesn't help when recievers now are getting taller, bigger and faster.

With three top 10 picks back there, they sure as fuck better be.

yeah the second and third pick really fucked up our chances at getting a legit WR.
lol.
3 outta six on D. right down the middle don't you think?

Why do we need a WR we have Flash Smokey!!!

I was speaking to passing on Sammy Watkins. And i didnt think about it at the time, but cleveland actually got less for this trade than they did for the Julio Jones trade.
In my opinion, its easier to stop points than score them. But your right, they had MANY other opportunities to take receivers and didnt. But I did like the Manziel pick, and I liked the Bitiono pick.

we've been needing to add another top flight corner for 4 years now.
both farmer and petine played safety in college and farmer went on to play it in the nfl. it was no surprise to me that they made it their first pick.

It cost Atlanta more because ( I could be mistaken but ) I think we were dropping back much further than # 9 when we traded with them. Therefor we were selling our pick at a higher cost then, than we took from Buffalo.

You're not mistaken, we traded back into the 20's with that trade.

"Our DB's could be solid unit."
Certainly the apparent capability, depth and flexibility are greatly improved. Among our position units, on paper I think our DBs are only rivaled by our D-line collection. However, for now the D-line gets the nod for their on-field showing.

After watching the background bio on Desir, I really hope this kid breaks at least into the nickelback package. Someone on the team with this kind of motivation can positively affect everyone on the team. Maybe even become that key ST player that every great team needs.

physically the kid is the prototypical FS. now whether he has the speed, the intuitiveness and the rest of the on field acumen to contribute at any position remains to be seen.
i'm rooting for him like the rest of the rookies.
