But Jonathan Abram has shown that there's just not much of a need or place for that type anymore in the league.

not ideal in a typical 2 deep backfield or single high... but spags isn't typical. guy uses 3 safeties with a pretty high frequency and each has their own unique role.

i think he'll be fine.

Of our two 2nd round safeties of late I preferred the Thornhill pick because he just has such good coverage instincts and looked like a tailor-made single-high option. And honestly, the track Thornhill was on as a rookie alongside a player like Cook would be a very nice complementary duo.

But I see people talking about Cook as being a Sorensen replacement in year 1 and a Thornhill replacement in year 2 - I just don't see Cook (or Reid) as being ideal options as a single high. And if you are playing with 2 guys who you're really locked into 2-high looks with, it limits your flexibility a significant amount.

Why would anyone think he will struggle in coverage considering he didn't allow one touchdown last year


If this guy tested at the combine we would have never gotten him

You're right dude.

Brett Veach drafted 5 1st rounders, brah.

Chenal is a HoF talent, Sky Moore is the best WR in the draft, Cook would've worked his way into the 1st, McDuffie should've been in the top 10. Do I need to look in the Kinnard thread to see if you compared that guy to Orlando Pace yet?

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Suck more dick, would ya please?

I think CP was formed as a direct response to mindless homers on the Star board.

I believe Spags is going to try to implement a few players that have traits of a DB's and LB's in order to combat the aerial challenges we will face in the AFC. Cooks is a perfect example of a player that has good skill sets in packages as a DB or LB. As much as Mahomes struggled against some of these high coverage schemes, why not present a version of that to some of these other guys and see how they do.

That's indeed where I started. This looks like our best draft class maybe ever I will continue to be optimistic.

It shows.

[Kiimo]

Yep not apologizing for it. I like the Chiefs. Go Chiefs.

[ModSocks]

Meh, i like the pick. I got good feelings about him.

[JPH83]

I think he's decent. I didn't like the pick because I thought there were better and more valuable players available, like Travis Jones. But I think he'll be fine to good and that's...OK.

What if Cook is Sorensen bad but hits Tom Brady hard enough to literally kill him? Would you consider it a good pick?
