Quinn will go to the Chiefs.

I would not be mad with Quinn. When Frave is gone I will feel a lot better about our future.

Does a guy is Branch's mold fit our defense..aka: Sam Adams, Norman Hand

[4and12to12and4]

Are there any safeties left even close to Landry's skills?

[TennesseePackerBacker]

You must be joking, Meachem is a 6'2" reciever who can run a 4.4 forty has a good vertical and soft hands, Revis is in the mold of an Al Harris, but faster, and gives us a great return man. That's not even saying anything about Carriker, Branch, Hall, Olsen, the list goes on.

We don't need a WR in the first round, there are better WR in the later rounds. There is NO DB or WR in this draft worth a first round pick. Time to get off the hype bandwagon.

Thinking I was ever on the hype bandwagon is a huge mistake, I'm a pretty cynical person. There can be a good WR had in the 2nd, I agree, but for you to say after 15 picks there will not be one worthy first rounder besides Quinn is just ignorance.

You must have money to burn my friend. Ignorance is pretending that anyone left besides Quinn is worthy of a contract that large. It's nice to know you have all that cash lying around for mediocrity.

What else are we going to spend our money on this year? A cap casualty? Some big name free agent that isn't even out there? Or an immediate starter in a hole we need filled.

Hopefully KC will want to trade up to get Quinn when our pick is up.

[MJZiggy]

Whatever happened with all the Turner trade rumors? I haven't heard anything since early this morning.

[BallHawk]

Good pick.

Jets take Revis....good pick....



Darrelle Revis
CB | (5'11", 204, 4.38) | PITTSBURGH

Scouts Grade: 95


Strengths: A tall, well-built cornerback with impressive athleticism for his size. He is instinctive and does a great job of reading opposing quarterbacks' eyes. Displays better than average ball skills. Shows toughness and aggressiveness in press coverage. Fills hard versus the run and has developed into a reliable open-field tackler. Also has value as a punt return specialist. Is sure-handed and displays very good vision and balance.

Weaknesses: Lacks elite quick-twitch athleticism. His hips are fluid but he doesn't display ideal lateral quickness. He will struggle to match-up one-on-one versus NFL's quicker and faster wide receivers. While he is elusive and shows some burst as a return man, he lacks a second-gear to consistently run away from defenders.

Overall: Revis played in all 12 games with 11 starts as a true freshman in 2004 recording 49 total tackles, 0.5 tackle for loss, two interceptions, 12 pass breakups, and one forced fumble to earn freshman All-American accolades. In 2005, he became a first team All-Big East performer after starting all 11 games and posting 41 total tackles, one tackle for loss, four interceptions, nine pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, and one blocked kick. Revis once again started all 12 contests in 2006 and registered 39 total tackles including four for loss, two inceptions (both returned for touchdowns), and four pass breakups garnering his second straight All-Big East first team selection. Over the course of the past three seasons, Revis has also returned 54 punts for 555 yards (10.3 average) and two touchdowns (79 and 73 yards). As a side note, he is the nephew of former NFL player and Pitt standout Sean Gilbert.
Revis doesn't play as fast as his 40 time indicates and he will have trouble turning and running versus faster receivers in the NFL. While he is extremely smooth, he does not display elite quick-twitch athleticism. However, he is a fluid cover corner with very good size, natural instincts and toughness. He displays adequate man-to-man cover skills but we feel he's better suited to play in a zone-heavy defensive scheme. Adding to Revis' NFL value is his potential to make an impact as a punt return specialist. Revis projects as a mid-to-late first round selection in the underwhelming 2007 cornerback class.
