i really think we know that we need to increase our speed at CB/NB...Ryan was great at blitzing/run support/zone coverages, but a huge liability in man against speed guys
Dennard is in the same mold as Ryan
But depending on how the draft goes he could be a guy we look at after the draft
He's a former 1st round pick, would only cost around $4 million a year and has played well on the outside as well. If we don't take a CB in round 1 or 2, I would not be surprised at all if a guy like Darqueze is in the plans post draft.
Disagree. Ryan is a 4.6 40 guy, Dennard is a 4.4 guy. Dennard has played significantly better in a vertical roll from the slot than Ryan who is entirely a horizontal guy. Dennard has the best defensive grade in the NFL against downfield throws to the slot receiver which is EXACTLY what we are looking for. Just sayin'.
I think he would be a good signing, he would be cheaper than Ryan but only 8 months younger so that's not a big difference there.
technically Denard ran a 4.51 at the combine and Ryan ran a 4.56 ....so neither are a low 4.4 type to try and hang with the true speedsters.
Certainly like Dennard's stats on downfield throws and I won't be upset if we pick him up...he hasn't made near the impact plays that Ryan has though...only 3 career sacks and 3 career ints....Ryan has 8 sacks in the last 2 years and 17 INTs for his career.
Of course sacks from your CB are totally scheme dependent
Definitely looks worse than the ones in the mariota center love story
Do you mean a guy who can play insode and out? Or do you mean a guy like ryan who was a swiss army knife from the slot?
Vrabel spoke on this, and hes looking for just a guy with wheels who can do multiple things. Whether its inside/outside corner work or possibly a CB with size who can double as a Saftey (like Hooker).
The biggest thing is we need to get faster on D.
Got ya.
That means an infusion of youth. We did have a lot of old players on the roster this past season
I actually did like him coming out of college.
We all know that those numbers they spit out right after they run are not official....his official time can be found hereNFL Events: Combine Player Profiles - Darqueze Dennard
Everyone should have. He was a monster in college.
Jameis Winston to the Saints?
Saints set to sign 1-year deal with QB Jameis Winston, report says
Is he behind Hill too?
5K and 33 TD and possibly third string. Nuts.

The biggest surprise was NE not taking a QB in the draft. Instead signing 2 after.
Passed on Love, Hurts, Eason and Fromm.
They must like Stidham and feel Hoyer can be serviceable until he's ready.
Maybe they sign Cam Newton?

No way Cam is playing for BB. Just not the type of QB he would ever want.
Probably right, can't really seeing those two co-exist in NE.
Newton Is running out of options though, Jags maybe an option.
Maybe he waits until an injury hapoens
