Hell no, if we didn't trade Revis we wouldn't have needed a corner.. We would've had Revis and Cro with Wilson in the slot. We still would've took Sheldon.
All he could do was thump. He was slow as molasses, unathletic and had no ball skills. Pryor is fast, violent and has good ball skills. I liked the effort that Smith gave, but he was limited physically. His hit in Welker in the 2010 Pats playoff game is still one of my favorite plays ever- the decal getting knocked off was outstanding. Prior is physically superior in every respect. _
So hilarious all the ppl thinking this pick was all Rex. You ppl are ridiculously stubborn and obtuse. Pryor was their top guy on the board. Idzik has final call on the board. PERIOD!! He's the GM not Rex. I am not surprised that Cooks was not their BPA he was not the 18th best player in this draft ... he wasnt the 20th ... NO just really wanted a WR and loved him it was a luxury pick for them.
Sure in straight line speed but Pryor is a much much more fast and fluid athlete when backpedaling, and ranging the field horizontally
The bust chance is related largely to the notion that if you take Manziel you need to let him be Manziel and not try to mold him into your system. That creates a huge potential for failure as you either do that and it doesn't translate to the NFL well or you try to mold him and he doesn't have the chops in your system when he's not being Johnny Football. He could be very good but I am very glad the Jets aren't the team that tried to test the proposition. With the Browns he will either change their culture or he will likely fail. They're the Browns after all.
They are all better, but it doesn't matter we need to get a BIG pass catching TE in round 2 and a WR in 3 or 4 to get Geno some help. Josh Huff on day 3 and Geno will have another great target. _
Dennard is going to be so effing good in this league ... in 4-5 years I predict that ppl will marvel that he was picked 24th ... I hope Pryor will be a maniac at S and make it worth it.
