Kirkpatrick

I read where steelers and titans are after him. I would like this but any clue on is price?

 

Who is kirkpatrick????

 

Is he even any good? Will he see playing time? I don't know

 

He has all the best football skills, tremendous football skills, he will make football great again.

 

No thank you, the kid has been very up and down. He showed flashes but really hasn't made it click yet and from what I am reading could cost a ton. PFF had him ranked the lowest ranked CB in 2015.....pass

 

Yeah he's definitely got the tools, just don't know if he's got it between the ears... Hard to gauge just like with Gilbert. Never know if it's the organization souring the fruit or if they just can't grasp the concept

 

You beat me to it Steel. This sure sounds like a Justin Gilbert thread.

 

2016?

 

Trade LOLandry and give whoever takes him a 2nd round pick if they do not let him come back to us

 

I can't find the exact ratings but he played better in 2016(which is easy to do being rated last in 2016) he wasn't in the top 30 and the Bungals best raking was from a S(IIoka) at 31. Their secondary was ranked 16th over all by PFF and had this to say:

Dre Kirkpatrick also played better as the season wore on; he finished with the eighth-lowest yards per cover snap allowed for cornerbacks.

Either way I don't want him, to many questions. jmo

 

Eh nobody out there is a game changer anyways. Honestly we just have to hope our offense scores enough consistently while the pats somehow don't get in our way for #7

 

And last season wasn't all that great either..........

 

Corner Marcus Cooper is a FA who is a big corner at 6-2 195 who had 4 picks and 11 pdefs 69 tackles last year, he is young has 4 years experience, the cards want to keep him but budget concerns have them waiting to see what kind of offers he gets, I think he has more upside to work with than kirkpatrick....

 

This.


Gillmore is more of the "Steeler mold" type corner we need. If anything, nabbing him makes this draft all the more simplistic for us given the fact that is now one pick we do not have to spend; early, mid or otherwise.

 

Not for the price he is looking for, 5 years 70 mill plus:

FA CB Gilmore aiming for $14M-plus per year, source rotoworld:


PFT's Mike Florio reports free agent CB Stephon Gilmore is aiming for $14 million-plus annually on the open market.
Gilmore wants more than Janoris Jenkins ($12.5 million per year) got last offseason and more than the $14 million annually Richard Sherman received in 2014. Only two cornerbacks -- Josh Norman ($15 million) and Patrick Peterson ($14.01 million) -- make more than Sherman, so Gilmore is probably looking to set a new mark for corners. Gilmore turns 27 this year and is drawing significant interest from the Bears. He's unlikely to re-sign with the Bills. Mar 5 - 1:17 PM

ESPN has mentioned that the steelers could go after CB prince amukamara

 

I was not impressed with him in NY, but I guess he is an upgrade over Gay right?

 

I hope not, he has 1 pick in the last two years and plays about the same as Gay, no improvement here, dont waste the money on him....

 

Let's face it. The steeler mold corner hasn't worked lol.

 

Not to mention the guy has only played 16 games one time in 6 years.....pass!
