I dont get the big deal in giving up at MOST a 2nd rounder for a CB of Samuel's caliber. It not like we are loaded with amazing 2nd round picks on our team. Kaepernick looks like a stud in the making, but other than that, I see nothing in our teams ability to draft past the 1st round.
His cap figure is in the $5.4 mil range, which is nothing to get upset about. I say pull the trigger if you can. What can we lose at the moment?
s**t, send Chilo and a 4th, I dont care. Get it done.. no ones better than him in the open market anyway.

Because he is a zone, Tampa 2 style corner. We need bump and run guys.
He would be the worst CB on our roster in our aggressive, physical defensive strategy.
That's why.
Nate Clements was a bump and run guy, that worked out GREAT.
______
In our system, Clements is 100x better than Asante Samuel.
Listen, just because you recognize the name doesn't mean he will work out in every defensive system. Cornerbacks are not interchangeable. You love the name, not the player.
i'm not sure I even know what "our system" is going to be. Fangio has said he'll base it around the players we have. If we had Samuel, it seems to me that Fangio, if he's as smart and good as his reputaiton says he is, wouldn't force him to be a bump and run CB. My two cents.
agree, if you get a CB like him you switch some schemes to get the best out of him. It's pretty much what the eagles will do with Nnamdi.
Eagles will play same scheme...will switch philosophy though. They will be attacking more, and not because of Nnamdi but because it's a passing league. Nnamdi though will be asked to do the same thing he has done for majority of his pro career, play RCB. Reid confirmed this.
