Vildor wasn't bad at all. Gipson also was not a bad pick, he's going to have to pick it up though if he wants to be more than DE4 if Robinson is going to play like this!

I really want to argue this: a S Brisker is balling, a WR that is just so fast, a RB that looks like a dangerous kick returner, and a potential starting LT. BUT, a pass rusher that can hold his own against the run? He had almost as many tackles as Roquan! I think he had more sacks than all the first round EDGEs that were drafted. Shit, I think he had the most sacks of ANY rookie!
With exactly how premium of a position pass rushers is, a DE that was drafted in the 5th round and is just learning the position. You may be right. You just may you crazy diamond!

CB might be the most difficult transition to the NFL after QB. It's inevitable they get smoked now and then as a rookie
But shit, it's a huge accomplishment to start at all as a rook CB

Gordon did fine IMO. 6 tackles and 1 TFL is good for a nickel.
He got beat once on a crossing route when Lance had a clean pockett. Most guys are going to get beat in those conditions on crossing routes if the QB has time to pass.

All that natural talent. Just think how good Robinson can become when he actually learns how to play DE.

Gipson and Vildor are starting as 5th round picks.
Not perfect but beating out everyone else for that spot. I think any team in the league would take that play for that round.

Quinn was also going against arguably the best LT in the league. Most consider him the best.
I think it highlights the HITS principles that Quinn started getting home in the second half.
I couldn't be more proud of the patience of this team. Today means so much for this team.

For the record, Jim Nagy and HeHateMe are the same person and I am here for it for now.
Excellent thread -
Also for the record Jim Nagy is the Executive Director Reese's Senior Bowl high praise indeed.

Jaquan Brisker and Robinson look like studs

Yeah. He had some really nice tackles too. A few in the open field as well. He's stout at that aspect of the game. Similar to Fuller when he was here but with more of a presence physically.

Why would he let that info out?

Because he is a rookie probably too excited about his performance. Someone probably already told him to keep that info to himself next time.

I am very optimistic about Brisker, but literally the only defensive play I got to see yesterday was one where he completely whiffed on a run by Lance and SF got a first down when Brisker should have easily stopped him short. But I don't worry because of the one play, especially in those conditions.

There's two ways to look at that. They're playing because we didn't draft anyone better, regardless of round. We all here were unhappy Vildor was kept on the roster and now it's a great pick because he's starting? No.
If your 5th rounder makes the pro bowl, that's one thing. But beating out other guys picked late? Nah.
Chris Conte was a late round pick who was a "starting" safety because we waited until the late rounds to pick all our safeties, not because he was good.

CB is one of the most difficult positions in all of sports.

Um that's a strange way to have a opinion about a players play when you literally watched only one play that player had to make a play in especially when he didn't acturally whiff at all but acturally obviously made contact but sipped right off of Lance because Lance was soaking wet yet literally had a head full of steam and Brisker just didn't have a good angle or position to make the play, then literally every other play other then that one was good to great so basically he was the opposite of anything you could "worry about."
