John from Riverside Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 He was underrated by a lot of people. He is a solid CB, BUT i am not convinced he's as good or better than Darby. Like the trade down, but felt 27 was too far. We could of dropped 5-8 at the most. Oh well like the extra 1st rounder next year, we will use it on a QB. What if a drop from 5-8 wasnt there? it takes TWO to make a trade People forget the other big part of this...the number 1 next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 @WGR550 McDermott- "People were calling us at 27 to take us out of the 1st round. I'm not a big fan of that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I love the pick... The more I hear him speak and read about his college career the more excited I get Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, White is the kind of young player/ leader you want to build the team around. Drop out of the 1st and its less likely a player of his value to fill a team need is still available. Deep draft, I get that, but if you see a guy available that really goes well in the grand scheme of things to come, you get him.

Not even just that, if you trade out of the first you lose the 5th year option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Please expound. Literally, that is what the pats have done for years. It's why they are one of the best teams at overcoming injuries. But I'm interested to hear what case you can present. Other than gronk, Brady you mean?

Chuck Wagon Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Not even just that, if you trade out of the first you lose the 5th year option. We don't use the 5th year option on guys who can play anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BADOLBILZ Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I've read that his quick twitch allows him to make plays on balls. He's a great returner so he must have speed. Looks a lot like McKelvin, who never had a problem covering guys, but who can also find the ball and make plays on it. Poor comparison. Both return punts if asked. That's about it.

Bronc24 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 To the Gilmore guys blowing up this thread, he didn't deserve top 5 corner money. Gilmore is good but not great. Also, he doesn't fit into McDermott's scheme. Sean needs corners who can play mostly zone with some man and press mixed in there, and he needs tough corners who can come up and play the run. Gilmore is all bump and run and he stinks in run support. We just picked a durable corner who started all four years only missing a couple games. He is a smart leader and some experts say was the second highest rated CB in the draft. He can return punts, was a two year captain (wearing #18 for LSU is a big deal) and he can play inside/outside and man or zone. I love the pick. Oh, and we picked up another 3rd and 1st? That's what the pats and good teams have done for years. Your logic is too logical. Your emotions are supposed to trump logic (no pun intended, but I like it).

DrDawkinstein Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Poor comparison. Both return punts if asked. That's about it. In thinking about the CBs that have been through OBD, he looks much more like McKelvin than he does Gilmore, Clements, or even Darby. No? Same size, good speed, good coverage skills. But it looks like White knows how to make plays on the ball. I'm not saying it's 100% accurate, just trying to put him in terms that we're familiar with. What's your better comparison?

JohnBonhamRocks Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Dunno if already posted, but White chose jersey #27 to reflect his pick. #18 unavailable because of big bad Listenbee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real McClappy Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 I have no idea how anyone is upset with how this is playing out. No idea either. the first rd was a A-A+ all around. We filled the teams biggest need with a plug n play starter, secured a 3rd pick to whom will most likely be another day1 starter. The extra 1st rd pick next year is just fantastic for a new coach to have. It will open up so many options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coach burgan Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 lol I was trying to remember who had 18. I like the #27, good choice Tre. Would he be allowed to pick 18 anyway? I thought DBs were restricted to 20s, 30s, and 40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm definitely not upset, but seeing the talent that was available to them at 10 made the trade down a little tougher to swallow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
