My Take

 

Sure there are still plenty of glaring holes on this team but plenty of time left.

 

+I and NFL Network/ESPN believed Malik Jackson was the best player on the board and we got him.

+Gibson coming off a down year is still a massive upgrade for this team at FS. 

+Chris Ivory is a power back that this team desperately needed

+The Jags DID not pay Vernon that kind of money

+There is still plenty of time left

 

-I really wanted Mario Williams.  I don't know if he had no interest or Caldwell was weary of him coming off a bad year.  Caldwell said he looks for red flags like players taking plays off and such.  IDK why we didn't offer 10 million/yr or maybe we did but he really didn't want to come here.

We like long armed, tall, physical corners. VH3 fits one of those three characteristics, and we're talking about the 5th overall pick. 

 

I like VH3 and wouldn't be upset to see him be the pick, but its far less likely we take him than pretty much any of the options that have been linked to us I believe.

Really happy with Jackson and Gipson signings. Ivory could also prove to be a very valuable pick-up. They still need another interior lineman, pass rusher, OTTO and cornerback. The first round pick will be easy unless both Bosa and Jack are both on the board. Due to the need for another pass rusher, Bosa will probably be number 1 on their board. They should be able to get a solid corner in the 2nd round like William Jackson and a guard like Tretola later on.

Gus has already stated his characteristics and ideal size he likes in his corners but said as long as they can do what they want it doesnt really matter

We're picking at #5, those are the guys you feel very comfortable with and people that fit what you want.

 

You can keep trying to spin it in a way to make VH3 look just as likely as Ramsey, Bosa, Jack, etc. but he is definitely after those first 3 in order of likelyhood of being drafted. Pretty damn confident in that. He may be physical, but just because a corner is physical doesn't mean he's an automatic fit and jumps to the top of the board. They have the combine, measurements, etc. for a reason.

Ramsey is tall, elite athleticism, physical, versatile in being able to play pretty much anywhere in the secondary...and yet, VH3 is the better fit?

 

Yeah, ok...

<p class="">Elway right not to go to $18 mil for Osweiler. Texans overpaid for a QB who will never quite be That Guy. Osweiler feared following Peyton.

<p class="">Exactly how i feel about that signing.

We've got to bring in some bodies to compete at Corner. Period.


Nobody in that secondary should be locked in as the starter after last year.


Wait a few days and get deals on Mo Claiborne, Cromartie, Powers, whoever. I just want to see some pressure on them to improve. After last year they don't need to be given anything except competition for their spot.

Thats your opinion, VH3 is a better corner than Hargreaves.   He killed the combine and is on their level as a prospect.  You're confident but most of your picks every year has failed.  I still want Jack but hope we get some pass rush in FA.

At corner, yeah I would rather VH3.

While he may not have reached any higher than his popularity during the 1999 and Purple Rain days, I enjoy most of his catalog.

 

Sign o' the Times is underrated, IMO... and I have a soft spot for Diamonds and Pearls.

 

One of the very best I've ever seen live, too.

I'm sorry man, but you are a Gators fan. You obviously have a man crush on your boy from Florida so there's no talking for real with you. I am not from Florida nor cheer for any team in Florida, it's plain as day that VH3 isn't a prototypical fit and exactly what Gus wants from the CB spot.
