If I loved TT, I would still call this a reach. My doomsday scenario...all the good CB's gone so he reaches for a S to convert him to a CB. His NFL.com write up said he was higher rated as a S than CB.
This is a Ted Thompson special. Panic that you aren't going to get a CB so you reach for a S to convert him.
It is one thing to gamble like that on a Sam Shields where if it doesn't work out there's no harm no foul but not on D in R1 where he's failed time and time again. It's time to stop screwing around in R1 on D. I hope Gregory, Brown or Kendricks is DROY.
Of all the disappointments in R1 this one is up there...not the tops but it rates.
Hope you hit on a UDFA so your lemmings can continue making a case that you are stellar drafter.
Now, watch...this guy turns into Charles freaking Woodson.
Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."
