We would have two developmental corner from powerhouse Cincinnati.. lol.

I have no real issue picking up a young player to develop.. we did that in Josh Bell.. if we are going to ink another corner.. I say ink a experienced veteran.

2009 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
person
Mike Mickens, CB, Cincinnati
Mike Mickens is only 6-0 and 190 pounds, but he is still a physical corner back who is not afraid to play tough against any wide receiver. It did not take long for Mickens to earn a starting job at Cincinnati. By the time his freshman campaign began, the Huber Heights, Ohio product was starting. Throughout his first three seasons with the Bearcats, Mickens was named to a multitude of all-conference teams and tallied ten interceptions.

His size should not be a big deal at cornerback, but some teams could look elsewhere in favor of a bigger player. But Mickens' cover abilities are among the best in the nation and he plays a lot strong than he looks and that should be enough to make up for his size.

Right now Mickens is among the best corners in the nation when projecting to the NFL. If he continues putting up numbers in 2008 like he did throughout the rest of his career, there is no reason for him not to be a first or second round selection in April. With a big year from Mickens and Cincinnati (and a solid showing at the combine), he could end up being one of the top two or three senior corners in the draft.

Sounds like alot of upside to this kid. we all know Ted Thompson loves taller corners but this guy isnt that small. i can see us trying to get him in for a workout and trying to stash him on the PS but doubt he will stay their or clear waivers.
We are born naked, wet and hungry. Then things get worse.

Ha... Tampa stole him off of Dallas' practice squad and then cut him. That kind of amuses me.

Does he fit the zone coverage style?

Tampa just made an in-season D scheme switch away from press-man Bates runs, so I wonder if the move stems from that in some way....

Well going to back what I always say, didn't he get released for a reason, and thats not because hes good is he? Am I missing something? Are We that desperate now for a corner??

Yes, I think you could describe us as such. Jarrett Bush is our nickel back.

We just promoted Ford to the 53, that's a pretty desperate move.

But now with 2 new CBs just put on the roster I dont see us adding a third.

I liked Mike Mickens entering the draft this year and I wouldn't mind signing him to the practice squad. However, he's not making an impact this year and wouldn't be an upgrade over anything GB currently has.
