Quote:You guys are way overrating INTs as a measure of ball skills. That's pretty much all your criticism comes down to. Is he a great off-man cover corner? No, but that's the only "weakness" to his game if you can even call it that. He's a lot better than Byron Jones. I'm not making no comparisons to him, all I know is he will be a very good player, All-Pro caliber, in a similar vein to Tyrann Mathieu. Nitpicking about his amount of INTs and FFs from the CB position is pretty ludicrous.

 

I nitpicked his INTs as a CB for this year but his prior two years he was a Safety and the numbers aren't much better. I have watched a few cutups and he seems to be better when he is closer to the line. I saw him makes plays whether disrupting the QB or batting down passes but when he was lined up a corner his coverage seemed suspect.

 

I see that he is versatile but I'd rather have a stud at either safety or corner and I am not seeing that. If I am drafting a safety in the top 5 then I want a guy who makes plays (ie the Ints and fumbles). I did see Ramsey get his hands on a few balls and just dropped it so maybe that is something that can be overcome.

 

My personal opinion is I'd rather have Hargreaves (especially if he measures at 5'11'') because he has showed to be an incredible cover guy with the playmaking skills to boot. I would also feel more comfortable with a veteran at the safety spot since this defense seems to encourage funneling players to that guy. Just like last year, I preferred what appeared to be the better pure pass rusher in Vic Beasley over the versatile Dante Fowler. I would rather take the pure corner over the versatile DB.

 

If Ramsey is the pick, then I will trust Dave and rot for him regardless.
