The Now Moment Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 We needed a corner and this regime has shown us they know what they are looking for in the secondary so far.

MarlinTheMagician Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I am okay with it, needed a backup CB. Sounds like Gaines a bit - hits in the running game, good with the ball in front of him, concerns he can't find it in the air deep downfield. In our zone he won't have to!

ColoradoBills Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Just now, TOboy said: Don’t know much about this guy...slot CB? Seems to be. Taron (tear-on) Johnson was not a highly-recruited athlete by FBS schools, even as an All-Metro receiver from Sacramento. Wildcat coaches found out quickly that they had something when they moved him to cornerback for his true freshman season. He played in all 12 games that year, starting five and finishing with 31 tackles, an interception and nine pass breakups. The following year, other Big Sky coaches recognized his skills (44 stops, 11 starts, two interceptions, 12 pass breakups) with honorable mention all-conference notice. Johnson was a second-team All-Big Sky pick as a junior, starting all 12 games, posting 48 tackles, five for loss, and a conference-best 12 pass breakups. The former receiver stepped up his defensive game as a senior, earning first-team Associated Press All-American and first-team All-Big Sky status by posting 49 tackles, three for loss, two sacks, three interceptions, and a team-high nine pass breakups. Analysis By Lance Zierlein NFL Analyst Draft Projection Rounds 5-6 NFL Comparison Bryce Callahan Overview Johnson's lack of size will drive him into a nickel role where he appears to have the foot quickness and cover talent to handle the job. He has to prove that he can play with confidence in his technique rather than grabbing during the route and his draft stock could be hinging on his 40-yard dash time at the Combine. He could find an early role as a CB4 before eventually filling the nickel spot. Strengths Plays with good bend in space Has experience in most coverages and techniques Burst to ball is quick Early accelerator when transitioning in man coverage Possesses natural coverage skills Quality plant and drive talent from backpedal Looks to lean on receivers and smother them from press Crowds receiver's catch space downfield Extremely aware in zone Looks to squeeze windows and challenge the throw Finished with 42 career passes broken up Plays with good physicality and isn't afraid to tackle Weaknesses Smallish build is maxed out Too small for the outside Gets grabby in coverage and may take time to adjust to NFL refs Needs to be careful not to lose downfield positioning and allow receiver a patch back to the ball Long speed is a concern Quicker than fast and may not be able to carry vertical threats Late getting off perimeter blocks Physical, but will miss some tackles due to his size 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinTheMagician Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 We did use three picks on offense already, in fairness. Just that it only produced one player (but a SUPER important one). Just said Crosby has concussion concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYfan Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I thought is tradition that when a team drafted their new Quarterback they would take care of him with following pick with a Receiving Threat or Protection on the O-Line. Like last year this is a McDermott Draft. Hoping the defense can keep us games, but from whence are more than 3 points coming. The OL, it seems to me from where I am, is a total weak link.
