Probably starts for us as a rookie? Branch is a slot corner who could convert to S. Sydney IS a safety. I had him ranked as my #1 S prospect this year.

May 16, 20232 yr Excited to see Carter, Steen and Ringo but the guys I feel most confident about to be effective game 1 are Smith and Brown. (Funny, just realized they have our WRs last names.. am talking about rookies obviously)
August 22, 20232 yr Really excited for his potential. I think they need to just start him and let him grow. People will need to be patient with any rookie mistakes and getting adjusted, but they don't have anyone better. He will benefit from the experienced players at corner as well.

I like the idea and sentiment but not sure this team should be playing a rookie who’s likely to make mistakes at a position that could hurt us. But if they think he can also make big plays then that may be a worth the risk.

Even veterans make mistakes.
August 22, 20232 yr It's all going to depend how quickly he learns the defense and gets comfortable within the scheme. Not sure that's going to happen in time for week one, and who knows if one of the other guys come out of the gate playing well. But it's just a matter of time for him.

I don't mind if they just want to work him into games and see how he does early in the season. Just don't do something like when we started Nate Gerry over TJ Edwards "for his experience." If our starter is stinking up the field, get Brown out there sooner rather than later.

August 23, 20232 yr Brown was a five year starter at Illini who played all over the backfield, he is pretty much as experienced a rookie as you can get and his athletic measurables are top end, he wouldn't have been a reach in the second round, he's the most ready to contribute 3rd round pick we've made in a while, at a position we're not exactly blessed in.
August 23, 20232 yr Honestly I'd start him. I'd say he's been the most impressive of the drafted guys along with Carter.

It's very likely...less experience = more prone to make mistakes Veterans make mistakes, yes, but they also have the advantage of learning from past mistakes which helps them make less in the future

Start him with Ghost. Edmunds as 3rd S playing in the box when needed. Kid is a freaking bullet train out there. I said right after the draft that as far as potential impact in year 1, him and Carter were tied for 1st for me in that department.
