Would be who I'd be excited to draft otherwise I'd kinda want us to trade down
Take Starks out and I'm on board. Those 3 or deal down.
Curious why not Starks? It's not as big of a hole as other positions but he looks like a good cover safety which we've been missing since Ward and we are going in with Brown and a bunch of ?s. Secondary looks like it has a lot of potential add the top Safety I actually like what I'm seeing on the back end
Drafting a S at 11 is blah. I know the film shows more athletic ability, but overall those measurables were awful.
you gotta be a special S to go that high, while I think he's good, he's not special.
im team trade down if graham and Membou aren't there.
yeah, I also think a S has to be very special to be picked that early,... a generational talent or close,... and IMO Starks is not there
there's another worrisome issue about him,... he regressed last season
- 2023: 7 passes defended and 3 interceptions.
- 2024: 3 passes defended and 1 interception.
he had a shoulder surgery offseason,... but idk if the production dip is related because the biggest regression came in his performance in coverage
- 2023: 18 receptions allowed on 35 targets (51.4%)
- 2024: 34 receptions allowed on 51 targets (66.7%) which is meh
