Results for “"Julio Jones"”

Before, teams would just play their third best CB at the nickel position and hope for the best. Now it’s a starting position in its own right, the nickel — the most demanding position on any defense — needs players who are smart, have quickness to be able to deal with two-way goes, they have to have a willingness to tackle and have the capability of facing Julian Edelman types to Julio Jones types to tight ends and running backs. It’s just a hopeless exercise to put them in with boundary corners. Players like Lavert Hill, Darnay Holmes, Levonta Taylor and Essang Bassey have value as nickel corners, while Jeff Gladney and Tony Pride might be better fits as nickels despite playing boundary cornerback in college. How a team uses players like that will come down to scheme and it won’t be the same for everyone.

I do think it is also a bit disingenuous to list press man corners (who will always be higher rated as general prospects) with zone or off-man corners, because they do different things well. A cornerback who can play predominantly press man, lock down different types of receiver and have the ball skills is a unicorn. A cornerback who can be effective in press man, off man and zone is a cornerback prospect that is easy to appreciate for me. However, a corner who does play predominantly zone, does have his value too but he does different things well: so I want to see different things.

In Fangio’s scheme especially, football IQ, hip fluidity, click and close, willingness to tackle and playmaking ability are things that come to the fore. He will still be tasked with some man coverage, mostly off man but occasionally some press man. Players like Trevon Diggs looks a better fit for a press man scheme and CJ Henderson’s um…"business decisions" in the run game would probably drop him two rounds. I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking Henderson before round 3. He plays like Greedy Williams and at this stage, I feel like he’s overhyped as a prospect. All the while, prospects like Gladney, Hall, Arnette would be elevated if we’re talking about a Broncos-specific corner list.

I do agree that it does seem pretty crowded in the 20-50 range, meaning that there’s a lot of cornerback prospects who might be gone before the Broncos have their original pick. I do think it’s likely that the Broncos would trade up into the first round for a cornerback. There does seem to be a lot of CB-needy teams picking at the back end of the first round, and I see teams like DAL, PHI, MIN, KC that could potentially take a cornerback. Everyone would seem to be in agreement that Okudah would be long gone before the Broncos pick, but at worst at #15 if their top prospects are gone, the CB3 in the draft would be available, putting the Broncos in position to get Jeff Gladney, Kristian Fulton, or even Damon Arnette who’s getting some first round buzz at the moment. Those sorts of players wouldn’t seem to be available at #46.

Each round is judged by itself. Jones was the clear winner in 4 and 5, but it wasn’t dominating enough to get a 10-8.

since each round is judged by itself, Reyes Had a decisive lead in the first 3 rounds. So jones only path to victory was scoring multiple 10-8’s or better, or Finish Reyes.

Given that, 3 rounds to reyes, 2 to jones, with reyes a clear winner. Jones comeback effort was not good enough. You dont gain extra points in rounds 4 and 5.

but I’ll cross my fingers and toes for Chris Jones.

I’ll keep them cross hoping Kinlaw or Brown drops to #13

That’s a great secondary with depth like Parks, maybe a draft pick, and then our current depth of Bausby/Dawson/Yiadom too. It’s far from the worst group and should be a marked upgrade on anything we’ve had in quite some time.

Releasing Flacco/Leary/Harris/CHJ gives us the space to do those two moves and still have enough for a DLineman like Chris Jones, and maybe an OLineman too. Then we hit the draft hard and often to really restock the shelves and we’d find ourselves majorly improved for the short term but with a young enough team to sustain that over the longterm too.

Free Agency is the key this offseason to set up the draft and ensure we’re ready to attack the league next season.

Sign at all costs. Make the rest work.

Breeland and Fuller are replaceable through the draft and FA for less. Ogbah might be a nice value play, as I can’t see him having much leverage to ask for much anywhere else. I’d probably put him with your Tier 2 guys.

I’d put Jordan Lucas and Demarcus Robinson in tier 2, mostly because they are probably worth more to us than they are on the open market. I can’t see Lucas getting much at all, and Robinson won’t even get Al Wilson money, but could be really valuable for us if Watkins isn’t back.

All of the great names that Jones fought were one or two weight classes smaller than Jones.

Khabib is fighting guys who really are in his weight class.

When faced with guys who are about the same size as him, Jones doesn’t look that invincible, and that’s what we have seen today. Couldn’t bully Reyes, had to respect his punching power, and couldn’t get any real offense going. Same thing happened with OSP. When fighting guys who really are in the same weight class, Jones looks good, but he certainly doesn’t look like a killer.

Chris jones > Williams > Mahomes

Jerry Jones has already done so much to damage the team/ownership’s credibility that I’ve had to overlook. I’m not so invested in football that I couldn’t quit watching cold turkey.

You punk bitch Myers you go after Jones and Silf .. no you get you get your ass beat by Manson then you turtle like a punk bitch..

He’d be Catherine Beta-Jones.
