knapplc Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Prince Amukamara, CB, Nebraska A great value here, Amukamara is the best pure ball-hawking corner in the draft. A technician with outstanding instincts, ball skills and anticipation, he immediately provides an upgrade in the Dallas secondary. The Cowboys need help at corner, and this spot is still a tad too early to go with offensive line help based on current grades, so this makes sense. Amukamara is the kind of player that can help the pass rush and also make quick decisions turn into interceptions. It's an Insider article, so maybe everyone can't read it. A couple of other highlights: Mel has Gabbert going fifth to the Cards, and Cam Newton going tenth, one spot after Prince. Amukamara is the second CB taken on Kiper's mock - Peterson from LSU is his first CB taken. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 SWEET! We definitely need help in the secondary Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I hope the Broncos take him, they need alot of help on defense. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Kiper has the Broncos taking LSU's Peterson #2. Quote Link to comment
ADS Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Kiper has the Broncos taking LSU's Peterson #2. Either Prince or Patrick would be okay with me, their pass defense is just ugly. Quote Link to comment
GSG Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Kiper has the Broncos taking LSU's Peterson #2. Good. The Donkeys can have him. I really want Prince with Dallas. I've seen some Cowboys fans from Texas that don't want Prince cuz he's a Husker. Sad Quote Link to comment
GoBigRedHead Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I pray to god that Prince does not end up with a star on the side of his helmet Quote Link to comment
suh_fan93 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I pray to god that Prince does not end up with a star on the side of his helmet I gotta say that would be tough for me to stomach too but at the same time I'll be happy just seeing him playing on an NFL field on a Sunday. On second thought yeah. He better not go to Dallas...lol Quote Link to comment
bball_backer Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Send him to the Vikings, PLEASE! Who knows, he may even get a shot at playing quarterback. Him and AP could run the option all the way to the Super Bowl Quote Link to comment
Stumpy1 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Prince is gonna sh#t the bed at the combine and drop down the board and the Bears will pick him up. God, life would be wonderful if that happened. 1 Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Detroit Lions biggest need is cornerback. They're sitting on the #13 pick. Okay, they have lots of biggest needs. But CB is one of them. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted January 19, 2011 Author Share Posted January 19, 2011 Defensive secondary is probably Detroit's biggest need right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see them trade up, and if Dallas would rather spend their pick on an O Lineman, I could see them making the deal. Quote Link to comment
druski_2k5 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 My team, the Titans, will GLADLY take Amukamara at #8. I don't think we are going to go quarterback, especially since Fisher has only one year left on his contract, he will not want to draft a quarterback and play him, but rather draft a guy that can make an impact. We will probably go free agency for quarterback, even though I was high on Vince Young as our quarterback. As much as I like Prince, I have to say that Peterson is the better corner-back and more athletic, but they are 1 and 2 respectfully. Finnegan, Verner, Amukamara would be the top 3 corners, along with Michael Griffin at the Free Safety position. Our secondary would one of the best in the NFL. But, we still have a moron defensive coordinator, who has a good philosophy, he just can't coach well, in Chuck Cecill and an incompetent head coach in Jeff Fisher, who is SUPPOSED to be a defensive minded coach, but can't even put a decent defense on the field. Sad. I hope my Titans still take him anyway! :koolaid2: B) Quote Link to comment
UGAHusker Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I pray to god that Prince does not end up with a star on the side of his helmet I like that you capitalize "Prince", but not "god". Priorities of a Husker fan. 7 Quote Link to comment

Priorities of a Husker fan. What kind of comment is this? One guy is suddenly indicative of all husker fans? Or he has to believe what you believe? There are so many kinds of fail here it's ridiculous - not the least of which is the fact that this isn't the place for this kind of discussion. Leave stuff like this in the Politics/religion forum, thanks. Quote Link to comment
