Pyrite Gal Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 before the last draft. We could be in a situation where our #1 CB goes down and is likely to miss some PT, and this triggers not unreasonable discussion of which options might produce even better play. Its not a good thing at all to lose a player considered to be your #1 CB and the team leader in INTs. However, the much improved production of Youbouty and the excitement about having an elite draftee in training simply speaks to the incredible CB depth that this team developed with" 1. McGee recovering from read miscues which got him benched for a game as he learned the Cover 2 in the 06 season. 2. Greer stepping up nicely to become a legit #2 CB after a couple of years of very good pre-season play followed by the sound of crickets in the regular season. 3. Youbouty being a "find" in the 3rd round in '06 as many observers felt he was a first round talent who would have been the 1st CB taken in 07 if he had stayed in. The situation became even more complicated when his single Mom died soon after the draft leaving him as the oldest child and particularly given his new contract the leader of his family. 4. McKelvin "dropping" to the Bills pick, and this "elite" (which I define as someone who gets chosen in the top 10) offering the Bills immediate contributions as a returner making his depth use as a CB a not unreasonable approach for a Bills team. Overall, this is not a good situation, but the possibilities certainly make it not a situation that merits any thoughts of DDOOOMMM which an injury to our #1 CB reasonably would have merited a year ago.
