Johnny Hammersticks Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Was just watching NFLN, and across the bottom of the screen I saw scrolling Mike Mayock's top 5 cornerbacks. I was surprised to see Stephon Gilmore from South Carolina ranked above Kirkpatrick and Jenkins. I really respect Mayock as a draft analyst, and have heard a lot of great things about Gilmore. For all of you guys out there clamoring for Kirkpatrick in round 1.....what about Stephon Gilmore? Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina, 6-1, 193. Gilmore plays with an astute awareness that makes him a dangerous defender to test. He is a vocal team leader who understands everybody's role on defense and is especially effective in zone coverage where he seems to triangulate well, tracking both the quarterback and receivers. Gilmore is aggressive both going to the ball and coming up on the run, although he could use a little more bulk to hold up in the NFL. Gilmore started at cornerback all 40 games the last three years and in 2011 made 46 tackles and led the team with four interceptions, giving him eight for his career. He was selected first-team All-SEC and third-team AP All American in 2010. - Frank Cooney - The Sports Xchange, NFL Draft Scout My link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wq_7sE0jMzM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRivRoc Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 i like him, but not at 10...trade back, he wont be there in the second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrobot Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Gilmore has been my RD2 pick frequently. He's Aaron Williams with better numbers. I'd be ecstatic if we took him at 42, disappointed if we wasted a #10 oa CB. Williams Gilmore would be the best tandem within 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Why not? I feel like we could use a CB. If we get into a trade with someone for later in the first round I would have zero qualms with getting him, but that sums up a lot of players.

ndirish1978 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 If he's there in the 2nd, I hope he's our guy. Floyd/Kuechly, Gilmore, DE, DE, LB/WR and I'd be ecstatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Sounds like a Nix pick, hopefully in the 2nd round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pirate Angel Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 That was a very short highlight film, like how physical he is on tackles (actually uses form and wraps up), like how hard he goes up and fights for the ball, something McKelvin hasn't gotten the hang of. I like the CB prospects in this years draft better than the LT and DE prospects...Id like to see us trade down, easier said than done.

The point can then be fixed as the third point of a triangle with one known side and two known angles. Just in case there are other simple blue collar folk here that read that and siad WTH is triangulate??! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
