Can find positive and negative reviews of just about every player out there.

I agree after reading through tons of player bios and mocks over the past month that is a very true statement. But there are certain weakness that can't be taught or it could mean that player just does not have the attitude to be strong in that area. One weakness I HATE to see is, Isn't a great tackler...Not very stout against the run... That is about attitude. Does a CB have to have that, probably not, but that is one of the reasons I always hated Deion.

Within the regular NFL salary cap is a second, or sub-cap, for signing rookies (including draft picks), which takes into account the number and placement in the draft order of each team's picks. Each team gets a certain share of a predetermined total amount of money (the "rookie pool") to spend on rookies. Since this money is counted against the overall cap, it's actually a cap within the cap.

For 2004 the Raiders will be allowed to spend up to $5,170,440 in cap money to sign their rookies (both drafted and undrafted).

In 2002 the NFL allocated an average of about $3.8 million per team, but the allocated amount varied from team to team depending on the number of draft picks they had. The Raiders' 2002 allocation for signing rookies was $4,254,000.

While it is true the contracts aren't fixed the numbers are pretty well set by this Rookie Cap within the Cap situation. So Miami might get allotted more money with 2 first round drafts but would be pushed over the top in the overall cap. This is what I was referring to.

But if Miami doesn't have a 2nd pick then this is a dead idea.

Who in the Chiefs secondary fits that description? Good Ball Skills and a Playmaker? Bartee has no ball skills what so ever. Neither does Battle.

And who in the Chiefs secondary doesn't fit this description?

I really think the problem lies in the fact that Carl, somehow has mistaken "athletic" for "versatile".

I'm not sure about Battle, but Bartee is considered athletic, so Carl (and Gun, for that matter) felt that he had the potential to convert to corner, without giving actual thought to the fact that corner technique requires both good instints, and years of practice for most.

Dale Carter was a rare exception.

They seem to have forgotten about the pevious failed effort of converting Woods to corner.

IIRC, Battle was supposed to be just as athletic if not more so than Carter.

I think we've proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that more than just athleticism is required for the CB position.

I like Rogers but I agree with DTLB58 here. Out of the guys I consider the 4 top corners Rolle, Jones, Browner and Rogers, Rogers is the only one who seems to not like to support the run as much. Even Pac-Man who is more diminutive than the rest attacks the line on runs.

LOLWUT?

This has to be Woodchuck****er

This doesn't feel like woodchucker to me.

Has brianfo been banned?

My guess is joey

Joey, to the best of knowledge, has no reason to stalk me.

Never had any problems with him, that I can recall.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess it's Flopnuts.

He's an evil ****er.
