He's probably the best player in the entire draft. I don't see how anyone can't see that. He's literally the perfect CB. He has size, speed, fluid movement was a total lockdown corner in college. He never allowed a TD in his college career and allowed just 131 yards receiving in 14 games last year. What more could anyone ask out of a CB? He and Hutchinson are far and away the best players in the draft.

Eye of the beholder, I suppose

Based on what? I need context. I'll believe the dysfunction is gone when they prove it. I sincerely hope it is over though. I'm tired of being the laughing stock of the NFL. I liked it better when ESPN and NFL Network ignored us. For the past few seasons when they ran a story about us, it was usually something bad.

Personally, I have compared Gardner to Revis on several occasions. I think "Sauce" is in the same discussion with all those CB's you mentioned. 

As far as Hutchinson, it's not so much of how much better he is than say, Thibodeaux or Johnson, it's just that I feel his floor is so much higher than those guys and he is a perfect scheme fit, unlike Walker who would have to learn a whole new position, if drafted to be a 3-4 OLB. I think Hutchinson is a very good player, maybe not elite, but I think he's a very safe pick. I don't see any bust factor with him. I think his floor is more of a Ryan Kerrigan type career. That's why I believe if we go edge rusher, he has to be the pick. This team cannot have another first round bust. It just seems like that happens to us time after time. 

They were very decisive last season as far as the #1 overall pick, because just about EVERYONE had Lawrence as the top pick. That one was a no-brainer. As far as Etienne, that was probably a whole different story that we may never be privy to. If rumors are true that the head coach wants one guy, the GM wants another and the rest of the coaching staff wants another guy, that is clearly dysfunction. These guys need to get on the same page. 

I agree, but if they truly have that many guys they are still choosing from, it makes me less sure that they will make the right choice.

As long as they pick a guy who belongs in the first five picks, it's okay.  There's just not that much difference at the top this year.

So...... as long as they pick from Aiden Hutchinson, Ahmad Gardner, Kyle Hamilton, Jameson Williams or Kayvon Thibodeaux?
