I'm surprised we haven't looked at Darqueze Dennard. He has been a consistently high quality slot CB for several years now. PFF has this to say:
Dennard isn't a free agent who'll be signed early for a lot of money, but rather one that would be a great addition for low cost after everything plays out. He's devoted his time to the slot and has thrived in that role. Over the last three years, Dennard owns the 12th best slot coverage grade among 42 qualifying cornerbacks and has had two of those three seasons end with a top-30 finish among all cornerbacks in PFF WAR. On targets of 10-plus yards from the slot in that timespan, Dennard has allowed the lowest catch rate in the NFL.
He would be cheaper and younger than Logan and would immediately be able to start.
He's a former 1st round pick, would only cost around $4 million a year and has played well on the outside as well. If we don't take a CB in round 1 or 2, I would not be surprised at all if a guy like Darqueze is in the plans post draft.We dont want just a slot CB, we want a guy who can do more
Dennard is in the same mold as Ryan
I think he would be a good signing, he would be cheaper than Ryan but only 8 months younger so that's not a big difference there.I'm surprised we haven't looked at Darqueze Dennard. He has been a consistently high quality slot CB for several years now. PFF has this to say:

Disagree. Ryan is a 4.6 40 guy, Dennard is a 4.4 guy. Dennard has played significantly better in a vertical roll from the slot than Ryan who is entirely a horizontal guy. Dennard has the best defensive grade in the NFL against downfield throws to the slot receiver which is EXACTLY what we are looking for. Just sayin'.
Definitely looks worse than the ones in the mariota center love storyWhile TB is going to bed early on medication, I’m not sure how long Party Boy is gonna be able to stay contained.
Edit: that also has to be one of the least straight photos.
Do you mean a guy who can play insode and out? Or do you mean a guy like ryan who was a swiss army knife from the slot?We dont want just a slot CB, we want a guy who can do more
Vrabel spoke on this, and hes looking for just a guy with wheels who can do multiple things. Whether its inside/outside corner work or possibly a CB with size who can double as a Saftey (like Hooker).Do you mean a guy who can play insode and out?

Got ya.Vrabel spoke on this, and hes looking for just a guy with wheels who can do multiple things. Whether its inside/outside corner work or possibly a CB with size who can double as a Saftey (like Hooker).
The biggest thing is we need to get faster on D.
That means an infusion of youth. We did have a lot of old players on the roster this past seasonVrabel spoke on this, and hes looking for just a guy with wheels who can do multiple things. Whether its inside/outside corner work or possibly a CB with size who can double as a Saftey (like Hooker).

technically Denard ran a 4.51 at the combine and Ryan ran a 4.56 ....so neither are a low 4.4 type to try and hang with the true speedsters.
I actually did like him coming out of college.
We all know that those numbers they spit out right after they run are not official....his official time can be found hereNFL Events: Combine Player Profiles - Darqueze Dennard

The biggest surprise was NE not taking a QB in the draft. Instead signing 2 after.
Passed on Love, Hurts, Eason and Fromm.
They must like Stidham and feel Hoyer can be serviceable until he's ready.
Maybe they sign Cam Newton?
Probably right, can't really seeing those two co-exist in NE.No way Cam is playing for BB. Just not the type of QB he would ever want.
