I want Lamarcus Joyner

[Freeupfreeney]

I don't care how tall he is, or how much he weighs, or his 40 time,  I didn't do too much scouting this year, but last year I scouted this guy, and I've been watching him since high school. When your breakdown tape against the no. 3 team in the country looks like a striaght highlight realm..

 

I mean, A year after Mathieu and Russel Wilson, were still having this Height Conversations.

 

 

and for those that like hits

 

[Stillen]

I personally like Deone Bucannon better, but I wouldn't be disappointed if we drafted Joyner.

[Nobody]

Huge fan.

[NewColtsFan]

There are always going to be height conversations....   especially as the height of WR's is getting taller and taller.

 

It's not impossible for a 5'8" corner/safety to be effective...   but it is hard...   and most can't do it.    They have to have other skills to make up for height...

 

Speed...  quickness...   loose hips...   light feet....   leaping ability...   long arms and big hands...   anticipation...   being fearless... and being competitive....    All sorts of qualities factor in when you're shorter than desired.

 

That said....   Mayock, who himself was a pro DB, loves, loves this kid.   Says he's a low-1, high 2....   

 

So, he's on my radar....

Like Joyner alot, Rather have Dion Bailey

[CR91]

Bucannon is better

[James]

Bob Sanders 2.0

[Dustin]

I agree. I hope we take him if he's available at our pick. He fills the FS spot and can play CB for when Toler eventually gets injured.

Yup. A smaller corner might not have made the play on Crabtree that Sherman did to send the Seahawks to the Superbowl. You don't need to be 6'2", but anything smaller than 5'11" and you're not going to make plays like that against a Mike Evans, Vincent Jackson, Calvin Johnson,etc... It's fine when it comes to other players and when dealing with short underneath routes. But do you really want Joyner matched up on Andre Johnson? Imagine him defending a back shoulder throw or a fade in the end-zone.

[ColtJax]

He makes up for his lack of height with unusually long arms and a great ability to jump. If he gets picked he'd be used against the slot receiver for a couple years until he's ready to be moved outside. The slot is usually a smaller quicker receiver so he'd match up really well against him. I love the kid, he moved to safety to help FSU and played at an All-ACC level. Moved back to CB his senior year and played All ACC there was well..

[pgt_rob]

Deone Bucannon will be picked up pretty quick. This kid is pretty good.

[throwing BBZ]

No thanks. Too small too slow for corner or at S in our D. Has to be a better alternative.

[B~Town]

Boom head shot I see alot of penalties in his future 

[gacker65]

IMO, he plays like a Strong Safety, not a Free Safety.  As we have all Strong Safeties, but 1, I would like to get an actual Free Safety. 

[coltsfanatic24]

The only safety i would take in the 2nd is Bucannon, Joyner is just to small to go up against TE's. If Bucannon isn't there i would wait for Ed Reynolds in the 3rd or Kenny Ladler in the 5th round.
