Quote:Bouyes one year is better than anything Ryan has done ever, Ryan is straight up mediocre. And Ryan played in an extremely good defense too so I have no idea why he would get priority over Bouye.

Just because bouye was only good for one year doesnt mean he cant continue to be, thats what player development is all about.

 

I totally agree with this statement, but you have to admit, it is a major risk to sign a guy to a big contract when he's only done it for one year and he comes from one of the top 3 defenses in the NFL. He could be very good, but he could also be a total bust if you take him out of the system he thrived in. I remember when everyone wanted Jeremy Parnell, because he had one really good year in Dallas as a spot starter. Some fans thought he would play the same way here, that he did in Dallas. Look how that turned out. If I can't get a really good starting CB in free agency who has proven his worth for a few seasons, I'd rather gamble on one in the draft. It would be less of a risk and this draft is loaded with really good CB prospects.
