Notes* I tried to build the defense to be one of the best, if not the best in football. Cromartie has experience in our scheme, and is one of the best press man corners in the league, and unlike smith, he has the speed to match up with any wr in the NFL. I like having Gaines, and Peters developing, playing nickle. and i plan on letting smith walk the following season. I think having a proper press man corner like cromartie would take our defense to the next level, if we could bring blitzes like Arizona could, it could be a very scary thing.

Spikes and DJ make one hell of an ILB duo, probably the best in the nfl aside from Bowman, Willis. Spikes is our guy for the future, DJ will walk in 2016. Hopefully plummer comes far enough along to adequately fill his role.

On offense, there are still some ? at WR. there will be quite a bit of pressure on DGB to perform day one. I'm very confident he will be one of the nfl's scariest deep threats the day he sets foot on the field, though that isnt smiths strong suit obviously. Shorts, and Nicks are both gambles. both guys 800+ in 2013, both guys nothing this year. If they both return to original form (im confident shorts will) we will be more than fine, if not...

As for Mannion, i see him as a possible QBOTF. he has a great touch on his ball, and throws a very nice deep ball. Hopefully he and DGB will terrorize opponents for many years to come. He has some things to work on, but he has time behind Smith.

Peters will probably go anywhere from 4th-UDFA.

He has serious issues off the field when it comes to coachability and that's not going to sit very well with teams in the NFL no matter how talented he is.

One NFL scout revealed to Bob McGinn that former Washington junior CB Marcus Peters "tried to strangle a coach on the sidelines."
This led to Peters' first suspension. "Then they let him back on the team and he did it all over again," the scout said of Peters. "Try selling that to your head coach." We have seen numerous prospects enter the NFL with "character concerns." This makes Peters' potential draft slot impossible to project despite the obvious talent he offers. Dec 9 - 12:33 PM

While he is capable of shutting down a good WR, he can also be inconsistent on the field and tends to play to the level of his competition.

I agree DJs been a beast for us. Hopefully he can return for form, but we all know age is a cruel thing. And so are ruptured achilles.

Hes a gamble no doubt about it.

I might would take a shot on Peters some time on day 3... probably 5th round. There's absolutely no doubt about his on-field talent, but the kid has some serious issues that are difficult to invest much in.
