Thanks for your support!
Not necessarily. If Rakestraw is playing close to the LOS, he can get his bump and re-direct on. Asking him to go outside in space would be the issue. It's all about fit. Mitchell and Arnold are scheme diverse. But the rest of the CB class rank differently based off schemes. Smaller guys like Rakestraw, Sainristil, and Renardo Green will make great slot CBs. But their physical limitations would likely have them struggle outside against bigger, longer WRs.
Well done sir
The question is, when do you select a nickel corner? I'd be interested in where the top 3 nickel CBs go in the draft.
I like Green at 3-86: over Rakestraw in the 2nd. Actually I like Green more than Rakestraw period.
I want Sainristil on our defense so bad! He’d be a staple at nickel with King to back him up.
That’s a solid comp. How about this one?
Before 2.42? No way.
I'm thinking 2-59
I don’t want to bet you rather be there 42, otherwise your on. He is an elite defensive back & slots are damn hard to find and when you do they get paid. He’s top 14th z at defensive player in this draft, behind Turner, Latu, Arnold, Mitchell, Murphy, Newman, Verse, Chop, DeJean, Wiggins & Kool-Aid but he won’t be drafted as such because of his size.
I actually think there’s a chance @beerlover might be right. The chargers pick in front of us and I could see Harbaugh drafting a few of his Michigan players.
I've seen the mocks where Sainristil goes that high. But let me say this. Since the Texans have entered the league in 2002, no CB both 5'9" AND 182 lbs or less has been selected in the top 42 picks. The last guy that small to be selected that high was Darrell Green in 1983, 28th. Fastest man in the NFL, Darrell Green. 10 second 100 meter dash Darrell Green. He was 5'9" 183 lbs.
Would love for him to be apart of the SWARM!!!
Class
Who’s to say he’s not on their big board _ hiding intentions. Signed, ultimate swarm beast
I would love to have him on the team, but I haven't put him in any of my mocks. I have a strong bias in favor of tenacious, undersized players, so I don't want to get too hyped for the possibility.
Very interesting because I keep seeing him ranked as a UDFA. Makes me think he'll be a day 3 pick.
Exactly! Him at nickle, Abrams-Draine outside and Khyree Jackson alternating between CB and safety.
You meant since 2002, right ?
Tank has him ranked at 48 with only Melton and him remaining in round two. I am hoping that he falls to 59 if that is correct. The dude is a baller!
Correct.
Dunta was not a big guy. 5'11 186 lbs at the combine. A couple of inches on Sainristil that allowed Robinson to play outside.
Teams don't have to meet with a guy to draft him. There are so many visits via zoom we never hear about.
I like him just for the name
I can just hear the announcer saying tackled by PP!
I hadn’t heard of this guy at all. Maybe late day 3 or UDFA? I like his size though.
A Wilson T30 visit was missing until now, although he had previously talked to the Texans. So far I'm sticking with Wilson as too good of a prospect, considered a blue chip, to pass up if available at 2/42.
We might have to jump the Packers. He seems like a prospect that they’d like.
I like him and Mo Kamara for that Designated Pass rusher role.
The Panthers probably hate him saying that.
I love Javon Bullard. He can play nickel or safety. He does diagnose plays fast and he has that quick twitch you want in secondary players. He reminds me of Trent McDuffie only way more physical. For his size he can lay some wood. He was the one who knocked out Marvin Harrison Jr. He is exactly the kind of player we need in our secondary.
