Branch From Bama

[skinsdad62]

well you said 3rd string. I dont know how they will use Butler. You didnt answer my question. What Cb in this draft fits in what we do? You said Porter didnt fit.

im not saying get rid of Fuller this year. Would The Cb at #16 be his replacement next year b/c he is a FA?

Too many factors in play now to give a real opinion.

How do you figure that? If Branch is drafted, he would take over McCains role. McCain was on the field alot last year. 4-2-5 was played last year. Reports are saying he is a slot CB/S hybrid type player.

If they plan on drafting Branch n playing him in the slot. I hope his 4.58 that he ran in the combine is not an accurate measure of his speed.

It is no way I would draft him

basically, the same height and weight. Is Brents a better zone Cb?

for the record, I don't want Branch at 16 or 47 because i really believe there will be better fits still on board.
I still think he's gone near the bottom of the 1st round. A saw an interesting statement, that Porter also isn't a good fit.
Porter - William Jackson? Aren't we asking a man coverage guy to start playing zone?
However because of need/pedigree Porter seems like the way to go. i'm just throwing that out there, i haven't seen porter clips in zone so i dont know.
just raising a question in regards to true fit

i made the statement he might not be a good fit for us in our defense . that being said he will be a rookie and you can mold him into being any type of cb you want with good coaching . if he were at 16 and there wasnt any better value i would pull the trigger on him and would be happy about it

Branch at 16 would make me think they let Curl go. Not sure who's even coaching next year.

i dont think we need to spend a 1st round pick to replace mccain and curl should be a guy we resign . to mee its a bad move at 16 when there are better options on the board at 16

I agree. Maybe this is me, but McCain was terrible anytime in single high, really any position he seemed to be a liability. Had a handful of good plays but disappointing

i agree Branch is rich at #16 but if he slides to #47 we would have to consider him. Kipers mock had him 2nd round

that pick needs to be earmarked for IOL . i think curl , butler and forrest with reeves is a strong safety unit . i think if you go CB in round 1 then slot CB is addressed . the o/line isnt done and replacing mediocre with mediocre doesnt get it done . center has huge potential for it being an achilles heel and LG is out there as well

It depends on what we do at #16 if we do select Branch in the 2nd round. I agree. But If we get a top 3 LT or they go with the Florida OG at 16, Branch should be in play if he is there.
