LOL what game are you watching!

Legit top 5 CB.. Yay or nay.

At 6'1' he's little big for CB but posses the quickness. In all honesty he screams Ed/Kam hybrid that could run a D for the next 6 years

He's better than any CB on our roster and it's not close. Having said that, I wouldn't use our 1st pick on him personally

It's when he is on the boundaries on a wr that worries me, now blitzing and over the middle I like him.

I'm in the nitpicking stage of watching college players.

Passing in the top 10 seems like the way to go... A veteran CB and another top half draft pick would be good IMO.

Sign me up for any of those guys in the draft.

the more i keep watching film on the top 10 the more i fall in love with Fitzpatrick. the fact that he won the Chuck bednarik award scream stud!! especially over who he won it against. Nobody can cover the field like this kid. the ground that he can make up is insane. I think this is the pick! He'd play FS but easily could play CB in the NFL. Looking at the impact that Maye & Adams are having on the Jets this year, and the fact we don't have a FS that can stay on the field it leads me back to this pick.

The best part is this draft is so damn deep, we won't have a bad first pick IMO. too much talent all around. we will end up with a stud no matter what.

Yeah I think all 3 will be successful with their respective teams. I think Minkah will be high on our board and a real possibility come draft time due to his versatility which Lynch loves and covets especially as a former DB. Minkah would play CB for us I think

Are you watching the all-22? I'd love to see what Fitzpatrick does out there. I see him in the box a lot, but Saban also has him doing other stuff in coverage. It's so difficult to evaluate him because 1.) you can't see downfield in the TV camera 2.) you need to see the entire coverage to understand his assignments.

Take him.

That would really help. Him and Witherspoon
Colbert. And tart. (Asumming reid walks)

Then you have froster. Malcom smith coming back
Then maybe a later round draft pick

Then we need pass rush.

We need a lot don't we!

I haven't seen much on him tbh. I cant really say yet. I like Colbert and Tartt being our Safety combo next season tho. We def need a CB tho

You're right Hero, Bama put this kid all over the place this season. The reason he won multiple awards is because he was awesome at every spot they put him in.

How does he compare to Ramsey who some thought was gonna play or should play FS instead?

Don't insult Ramsey like that.

Dude is an elite CB at the next level. People try to use this FS/SS thing as a knock. He's elite in every facet.
