Jamar Taylor will be going then ?
-
Here's some info on how Bills defense was when Gaines was in the game versus not, take it for what its worth.
-
Healthy thru college (Mizzou), but missed 5 games each of past two years.
Short 5'09... slightly long wingspan... only a 31.5" vert...OK speed 4.51.

PFF ranked him as the 13th best corner in the league either you have a nose for the ball or you don't and seems to have it maybe this will shut up all the winners about trading McCourtney

I like how you say "only" 31" vertical yours is what? Yeah, 40+" is good, but that doesn't necessarily translate to NFL success. https://www.cheatsheet.com/sports/what-are-the-highest-vertical-jumps-in-nfl-scouting-combine-history.html/?a=viewall
nfl.com has him listed an inch taller 5' 10", and depending on who you want to believe 185 or 195. Played for Williams on the Rams, so Greg knows what he's getting...

So if he's available he's good... got it.

even with missed games still a huge upgrade over McCourtney
Huge? Here's their production over the past two seasons...
McC: 28 games; 3 INT; 26 Passes Defended; 2 Forced Fumbles; 113 tackles; 19 assists
EJG: 22 games; 1 INT; 16 Passes Defended; 4 Forced Fumbles; 95 tackles; 20 assists
I get younger option, but what am I missing?

Tour, you just don't see that the guy is a real leader. I would say a "real football player". Fiery. A real winner. And other stuff that can't be measured and/or related to football in anyway.
All joking aside, I hope Gaines plays well and can stay on the field.

If he stays on the field the gains will be ours

Bottom Line: since they dumped McCourty.....Browns needed a guy. Seems like he fits as well as anyone.
May be another indication that they may not be going DB with that 4th pick.

McCourty to Carrie is a massive drop (Carrie's not even a qualified outside CB), and Gaines to Taylor is a wash (plus Gaines struggles to stay healthy). Safeties are wholly unproven. They may have gotten worse this off-season.

11:52 AM - 23 Mar 2018Well then, maybe, hopefully they DO still have some DBs in mind for early in the draft. If they don't take one at 4, I think they have to get one or two in rounds 2-3.
