Barclay contributed right away his first year. The other two were just sort of there, although Pennel found his niche his second year.

Don't forget the tantalizing promise but shorted career of Lawrence Guy. He would have been Reggie White if the Colts hadn't snatched him away.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
Guy was not a UDFA. He was a 7th round pick in 2011.
HOFer
DEFENSIVE BACK (probably 10, maybe 11)
LOCKS (6) - Sam Shields, Damarious Randall, Quinten Rollins, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Morgan Burnett, Micah Hyde
LIKELY (1) - LaDarius Gunter
BATTLES
5th CB - Robertson Daniel vs. Josh Hawkins vs. Makinton Dorleant
4th S - Chris Banjo vs. Kentrell Brice vs. Marwin Evans
The rookies all have intriguing measurables, but the thing to remember is that Daniel and Banjo have equal measurables. Banjo is just an inch shorter than Brice and Evans. As overall athletes using my modified SPARK formula: Banjo = 78, Brice = 79, Evans = 79. I think Banjo's experience and ST prowess earns him a spot. Same with the CB competition. Using my modifed SPARK formula: Daniel = 81, Hawkins = 83, Dorleant = 78. Daniel is bigger than the other two guys. He and Gunter are the only big CBs that have a chance of making the roster. I think Daniel's size and experience earns him a spot.
That leaves the rookies battling it for a 10th DB position (and perhaps an 11th spot). I think Dorleant is the most likely to be cut and perhaps the easiest to get back on the PS. Brice vs. Evans is too close to call right now. My gut tells me they keep Hawkins and then try to get either Brice or Evans on the practice squad.

^ How dare you treat Banjo like a one night stand or FWB. He had given us so many good treads and puns.
Speaking of which, where the heck is Rand?
