    Dowling gets a lot of good press on this board. But, I've seen him play several times, and I think he struggles with receivers who have plus short area quickness mightily. I don't hate the kid, but I really don't like him before the end of the third round.
    Even if Bill Belichick was getting an atomic wedgie, his face would look exactly the same.

      I disagree with you.I think Rahim Moore is a legitmate first rounder.

      I'd rather have the number one free safety at 31 than the 4th best corner at 31.
      Well there are not. And you cant make a blanket statemnet like that. It all depends on the depth. Their are 4 first round worthy CB's and no safeties. Moore wouldn't replace Clark as a starter. Our 1st rounder needs to start.
      Who are the 4 first round worthy CB's in your opinion (I only have 3)?

      Peterson and Prince will likely be gone in the top 10, and Harris from Miami will probably go in the 20-25 range. After that, it seems like a lot of day two prospects to me (both Texas corners, both Colorado corners, Dowling, Carmichael, Burton, etc.). I could see us going for a bigger corner in the Ike mold, so we may prefer guys like Jimmy Smith or Ras-I Dowling (if healthy).
      Jimmy Smith is the other. He will be rated above Harris on many peoples draft boards.

        If we are going with a DB of any type, lets hope Ray Horton gets canned so we actually have a shot at developing them.

          This SB highlighter our biggest problem. Getting gashed by the likes of Rodgers, Brady on those underneath routes all day long. Truth be told, if Nelson and others hang on to passes, Rodgers could have had 400... basically that pass was there all day long.

          Whatever it takes... whether it means getting one more guy who can get to the passer... or cover guys... that's the glaring issue.
          I wasn't hired for my disposition.
