Colts BR 1000 CB Colt rankings

Here's a link to the list:  http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2011295-br-nfl-1000-top-100-cornerbacks

 

Before people criticize BR for listing either Toler or Butler too low, they have listed Vontae at #2. So if you are going to criticize the list for being inaccurate, then you have to be willing to say that the list is not reliable, and therefore, Vontae being listed at #2 may not be reliable either.

 

Overall, I think it's just a list and the players face so many different situations/variables that it's hard to quantify their ranked order. I think you can have a general agreement on the very best players, (top 10-ish) and the rest isn't that important.

101. Toler

79. Butler

2. Vontae!

Marcus Burley finished 37( Herrera better be good)

 

I wouldn't be too concerned about Burley.  That article has him listed higher than two guys he plays behind on his own team.  I'm not sure if he was hurt the end of the year, but Seattle had him inactive on gameday from about December on.  I don't think he's anything special.

 

Lists like this are supposed to be subjective and give people something to talk about.  Just for fun I looked at the previous years list and Toler and Butler each fell almost 20 spots from 14 to 15.  Whatever.

Huh? Toler is 83 and Butler 61. edit- nvm, bestQBever linked to the wrong article

 

 

Great to see Davis at #2. Butler I think should be a little higher but I think Toler is too high even at #101.

Come on now. The dude was inconsistent but he was shutdown sometimes.

So we have to agree with the whole list or none of it?  IMO, I would have Davis at number 2, Butler seems about right, if not a little high but Toler should be higher than Butler and he should be higher than he was in 2013 because he played much better last year than he did the year before.  

 

I didn't read the article but I assume Toler's penalties is a reason why he is lower than his play would indicate.

Hey, Coffeedrinker. To address your question -- No, of course you don't have to agree to the whole list. In fact, you don't have to agree with any of it if you don't want to. After all, it's just a list by Bleacher Report.

 

My comment resulted from the following:

 

1. There were certain criteria applied that led to the rankings. The same criteria was applied throughout the list and that's how they derived their rankings. So, if Davis was #2 based on that criteria and we are all okay with that, then why question Toler's or Butler's ranking if their ranking resulted from the same criteria? 

 

2. If their criteria is flawed, then perhaps Davis' ranking is flawed as well?

 

3. Not that you do this, but it does drive me crazy when a listing/ranking or article comes out and Colts fans go crazy if Colts players are not ranked high or praised in some article. That ranking or writer is immediately criticized for having a different opinion.

I'm not good with using emoticons, but that comment about agreeing with all or none was mostly tongue in cheek.  Sorry that I came across that way.

I don't think Toler is horrible, but like you said he is very inconsistent. Hell he holds more than Mayweather!

    • Rashee Rice is honestly very good. He's their no1 receiver and a lot of the time outperformed Kelce last year as a rookie. They also have two elite CBs (we don't have one) so that allows them to shut down the passing game (as evident by their defense last year and their run in the playoffs). Mahomes is elite, but Ballard didn't even try to get a QB in the draft until 2023 after Luck left. We can blame it on Reich and all that, but it's a fact. 
    • Nice mock. Most of the players you took, end up with the colts in my mocks,too. Really like it!
    • Does anyone really think that Chief roster is good enough to make the playoffs minus Mahomes? I don't. If it weren't for mahomes, their running backs would scare no one. They would have one reliable pass catcher who be be able to make plays(Kelce). And there defense would suddenly look very ordinary and wear down from an offense that would go three and out way to often(think our offense with Matt Ryan and his ability to not throw the ball downfield). When you have a qb the caliber of Mahomes you can do things differently because Mahomes makes everyone else on the team look better. Question, how many superbowls did Reid win in his career before Mahomes became his qb?
    • Nice mock.  Don't have anything negative to say about it.  Would be happy if Colts got these players.
    • In this mock, I drafted defense early, then went with best fit / BPA approach.  Mitchell helps solidify the CB room.  Cooper is compared to The Maniac (that would be awesome if true).  Jenkins for depth on DL.  OC from Wisc to replace Kelly in a year or 2.  I'm a fan of UofL Cardinals, so had to pick Guerendo.  And Ford would replace MAC while on a rookie contract.  What do you guys think?   15. Quinyon Mitchell, CB Toledo Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 195 lbs |RAS: 9.84 Strengths - Can click and close and undercut passes in an instant with his elite recovery speed - Proven ball-hawk with six interceptions and 37 pass breakups over past two years - Energized short-area mover with torrid foot speed and effervescent corrective twitch - Adept processor in off-man and zone, who can instantly trigger on route breaks - Has the frame, targeted physicality, agility, and fluidity to dictate reps in press-man - Has the versatility to play the boundary or the slot in man, off-man, or zone coverage Weaknesses - Doesn’t quite have elite fluidity and sink when bending to close ground on hitches - Can be baited into making premature hip transitions by nuanced WRs at stems - Relatively inexperienced in press-man, and can improve upper-lower synergy - Can keep shoring up his tackling form as a support defender   51. Edgerrin Cooper, LB Texas A&M Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 230 lbs |RAS: 9.34 Linebackers who naturally, and consistently, make plays, are impossible to replicate. They can run a 4.7 40-yard dash and still be valuable because they process information at lightning speed and are innate playmakers. Edgerrin Cooper is that player, but with outstanding athleticism and length. That length allows him to wrangle ball carriers with an incredibly high hit rate. He knifes through blockers and consistently makes plays around the line of scrimmage, while also providing a bump as a pass rusher. Dalton Miller   82. Kris Jenkins, DT Michigan Height: 6 - 2 |Weight: 299 lbs |RAS: 8.92 Being the son of a former NFL All-Pro, it’s no surprise that Jenkins has some of the most enthralling tools in the class. He’s an incredibly explosive athlete off the snap, both laterally and vertically, and has suffocating strength at the point of attack. Going further, with his burst, twitch, and mass, Jenkins can levy impressive amounts of power into his attacks, and as he trends up with his hand usage and energy efficiency, it’s exciting to think about the potential that remains unearthed. -Ian Cummings   103. Jermaine Burton, WR Alabama Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 196 lbs |RAS: 9.54   117. Dadrion Taylor-Demerson, S Texas Tech Height: 5 - 10 |Weight: 197 lbs |RAS: 8.87   151. Tanor Bortolini, OC Wisconsin Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 303 lbs |RAS: 9.79   158. Javion Cohen, OG Miami (FL) Height: 6 - 4 |Weight: 324 lbs |RAS: N/A   202. Isaac Guerendo, RB Louisville Height: 6 - 0 |Weight: 221 lbs |RAS: 9.98   219. Brevyn Spann-Ford, TE Minnesota Height: 6 - 6 |Weight: 260 lbs |RAS: 7.58
