Dantzler's underwhelming 40 time at the combine raised eyebrows and could affect where he gets selected. The game video shows a cornerback with a big reach, who competes and understands route combinations. He kept himself in the hip pocket of some of the nation's best receivers.

another CB

I just don't like the Zimmer philosophy. Pressure the QB and everything on the back end will be OK

on offense - open some lanes, protect the QB, and everything will be good

Another CB, sigh

Anyone else notice Bill O'Brien cussing at someone on his phone. He was pissed about something

Not a bad pick. There is a serious need at other positions.

Yes! I forgot that one. Have to fill the holes somehow. Why not with young, prove-it talent??? We lost THREE starters at corner.
