Not a fan of Prince.

neither am I, but Quinn would take some time to ramp up and Amukamara already played the type of coverage expected from Fangio. He can press well and cover when needed. Also, he's adept to learning quickly and extraordinary work ethic. He will stay later than most in the film room.

I would want Quinn over Prince in any other year, but this one. That's why this CBA sucks.

BTW, I have always said the top three for the 49ers should be Dareus, Miller or Peterson. If not, trade down and that includes Prince and Quinn. If a QB drops to us, we should get some beefy offers to move back and select a top flight 3-4 DE or Phil Taylor as our true NT.

We would get more picks to maneuver for a QB in the latter part of the first or beginning in the second.

Why not a fan of Prince?

prince is a SHUT-DOWN cornerback!!

If these three players (Quinn, Miller and Prince) are left for us to take, I then suggest that we trade down out of the top 10.. I really don't like those 3 players gettin picked in the top 10.

1) Quinn - he's a 4-3 DE, if we draft him to play OLB, then it'll be Andre Carter all over again. Don't let his athleticism fool you just like Lawson fooled us already.

2) Miller - he's speed just wont be enuff in this league.. i saw him often during the season and as good as he is, i just doubt that he's a top 10 pick.. but if i had to choose between he and Quinn, i wouldn't like to, but I'd choose Miller.

3) Prince - I believed this in the 80s, and i kept that belief in the 90s, and up to this day, i just dont think any CBs from Nebraska can cover NFL receivers.

But Prince being faster and more physical than Revis does not mean that he too will be a shut down corner... Revis wasn't even ranked that high and no scouts ever foreseen Revis being a shut down corner..

Quote:
Darrelle Revis is a natural athlete with true shutdown corner potential. He has ideal size for playing cornerback at the next level and displays great instincts to locate the ball and make the "big play". Revis is physical in coverage and not afraid to demonstrate his hard-hitting style against the run. He plays with a nasty, aggressive streak on the field to match his physical stature. Revis has tremendous quickness and demonstrates the speed to keep up with receivers on deep routes. He demonstrates very solid cover techniques, but needs to be careful about relying solely on his athletic abilities against more talented receivers at the next level. During his final two seasons, Revis displayed his versatility returning punts at Pittsburgh, including two for touchdowns. Revis is clearly one of the elite cornerback prospects in the 2007 draft and has the potential to excel as a shutdown cover in the NFL. His talent and tremendous upside make him a mid to late first round selection.

Quote:
Revis, only a junior, is arguably the top corner in the draft. His play on the field and impressive post season performance could make him the first corner taken in the draft. He is a definite first round talent, and could be taken in the Top 15.

.. we'll talk about Prince again after the season.. and i dont expect him to be awful, but at the same time, i dont see him being close to being a shut down corner..
