We need all the PRs we can get. Especially now losing Tramon. Need some speed on KR too.

Any special ability is nice but I'd rather have a slightly better corner that can't return punts than a slightly worse corner that's going to average 8 yards a return.

How tall is he?

How many years has he been playing defense, and at what level?

Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

Is that an actual thing? Would being 1 inch taller make our players better able to cover those guys? How many of the top cover guys in the league are even over 6 ft (don't worry I know you wont even bother trying to answer this one)? Alshon Jeffery... lol, it doesn't seem like he's done much against us with Shields covering him. Maybe Shields magaically grew 2 inches when we played Chicago since that's apparently what it takes.

But Hyde did pretty well covering some of those 6'5" TEs and he's less than 6' ... of course the TEs might not have as much speed, but they also have an outside line they can work with that those in the middle don't have to work with nearly as much.

Dez Bryant is 6'2". Shields is 5'11". If Shields is 3 inches taller, maybe Bryant doesn't make the catch that wasn't.

Sherman is 6'3". Revis is 5'11". Good CB's can come in any size. But if all other things are equal, I would prefer taller.

You cannot just take a player add something to them and then assume everything else would be the same. If he was 3" taller maybe he wouldn't be as fast and wouldn't even be a starter.
All things are never created equal. Give me better, if that's of the 5'10" variety or the 6'4" I do not really care.
