I like Talib minus his off field behavior. If he can get his act right and fly straight, then I am all for Talib in Blue and White. If not Id rather settle for a Rookie Cb then Grimes or Houston. I wouldnt be against taking Jones from the bengals either but he also has had history of off field behavior issues, although you havent heard of any trouble out of him lately.

Talib is a straight stud. He looked like a shut down corner for the Patriots in many of the games I saw....

You don't know what a shutdown CB is then. He was one of the worst cover corners in the league last year. He got interceptions because he couldn't cover. Got burnt by TY twice.

So you are telling me my opinion is wrong, because he got "burnt" twice in a game we got blown out in? Did you maybe consider that was his first game as a Patriot? If you recall Davis struggled a little bit his first couple games with the Colts. But even still Talib had 7 tackles, a pass deflection and an interception against the Colts. I don't know about anyone else, but I would take that production out of my CB any day. I watched a lot of patriots games this year (unfortunately had Brady in FF) and QBs wouldn't even throw his way towards the end of the season and most of the time when they did Talib was stride for stride with the WR. I remember saying "man, that guy is good" many times and wondering why the Patriots out of all teams got to pick him up for so little.

 

"One of the worst cover corners in the league last year"? If you are going to make such a bold accusation, I need more than just "he got interceptions because he couldn't cover. Got burnt by TY twice". The dude only had 2 interceptions on the year in the games he played and TY burns almost every CB at least twice in a game.....TY's one of the quickest guys in the league....

"Either way, Aqib Talib wasn’t all that good for the Patriots in terms of actual player performance when you narrow it down to him. He was average at best in coverage, and his coverage grade for only the games he played with the Patriots was well below-average." From a Patriots site. He got a negative grade from PFF, below average. I'm not basing this on one game.

PFFs pass coverage grade for Aqib Talib was -5.4, that's good enough for 96 out of 113 qualifying CBs, for comparison, Cassius Vaughn was -3.6 or 86/113 in pass coverage.

      Pick #46/ #82 What's Available Day 2? Discussion

      By Crunked · Posted

      I thought someone might ask "who" I would want him to swing for the fences for.....and its tough to explain, but I will try. I would have loved Marv Jr. for nostalgia but knew that was unrealistic at any cost.....Liked the idea of Brock Bowers, etc. but its not really "WHO" for me, it was the effort, risk it....and this applies to FA as well. Go out on a limb for a difference maker, I think they are more qualified to determine "who" that is than I.....and maybe there wasn't one. but over the last 7 or 8 years there have been opportunities in FA and draft. So maybe my disappointment is more cumulative than this instance specific......Dunno if that makes sense, he has played it safe for years and does well with what he has had, guess I am saying (my opinion) at some point you gotta say "I am pushing all in" for this player as we need that over the top player now......and he never seems to reach that boiling point.

      Colts Select Laiatu Latu Edge UCLA

      By 2006Coltsbestever · Posted

      Nice to see you so positive Doug. I like the pick as well the more I think about it. Hopefully we have our QB in AR, our RT in Raimann, and now our Edge in Latu + Buckner is still All-Pro worthy on the D.Line. Pittman is a good possession WR but I still wish we had a legit deep threat to really open things up at WR. I guess if Taylor runs the ball at a pro-bowl level it could open things up more, hopefully Nelson stays healthy. I do like Downs a lot. Pierce to me, is on a prove it to me level.

      This is how I feel as well. It’s frustrating to see other teams in our division build around their young QB and we’re left watching. Seems like a broken record but year after year we enter the draft with SO many holes. The Texans basically went worst to first and will even be better this year with the moves they made. At some point I hope we can get out of the mud. AR needs another weapon and sadly the ones that could make an immediate impact are gone.

      I think Latu is exactly that kind of player, who is said to be the most special edge rusher in the draft. Only concern with him was neck injury, but he recovered from that 2 years ago and his awesome tape shows the kind of special player, far from injury concerns. Without that injury history, he'd have been top-10, if not top-5, player in this draft easily.    So, what more swing-for-fences move you refer to? Which player did you have in mind?
