Brandon Flowers

[DaKCMan AP]

Flowers is a physical corner with great ball skills. He fell because of his height, 40 time and character concerns - not because of any perceived defensive system fit.

Yep.

I'm just concerned that the new staff has a "profile" for corners and they won't like his measurables.

Asante Sameul isn't the biggest guy in the universe and he was drafted by the Pats.

That's the problem though, he doesn't have that really good corner speed and is therefore a fit for the tampon 2..

Wrong. He doesn't have shorts & t-shirt, timed track speed. He has game speed, quickness, physicality and stellar technique. He can play corner in any system for any team.

Shall I say it? Very similar to *cough* Ty Law *cough* in his prime

I really hope this is so. Especially because he had the experience (and excelled) in the easier Tampa 2, which should help with the transition. A lot of teams were wary of him in a non Tampa 2 defense, so it isn't wrong.

Here was Scout's Inc.:

35. Kansas City Chiefs
The pick: Brandon Flowers, CB, Virginia Tech
What he brings: Flowers doesn't have elite size or top-end speed. Occasionally, he gets caught out of position trying to make a big play. However, he plays far bigger than his size indicates and faster than his 40 time suggest. He opens his hips very well and has the upper-body strength to deliver a violent punch. There's also a lot to like about his willingness to play the run.
How he fits: With the loss of Ty Law, the Chiefs had to address the left corner spot opposite Patrick Surtain. Flowers is a physical player who plays bigger than his size indicates, which is a good fit in the Chiefs' defensive coverage schemes.

I think he'll have an easier time adjusting than Carr....

It is a nice feeling, to have a cache of young talented CBs!

It wasn't too long ago they were desparate and gave up a 2nd for Surtain and signed an "over the hill" Law.


Hate giving Herm ****ing Edwards any credit, but he is do some on this IMO.

I will give Squirmin Herman credit for that. Leggitt isn't too horrible either. But while I'm giving him credit, I will stand on my desk and scream how much I don't want him near my team.
