This guy's a player and could be just the FS this team needs on the backend to pair with Mustapha. Not sure how fast he is but his playing speed looks fast in covering a lot of ground. Will he be there at #11 though?

I agree we don't want to make the same mistake as we did in 2018. There was a consensus that Minkah Fitzpatrick was rated higher than Mike McGlinchey, but we went with the need instead of the better talent.
As much as I want to address the D and O line we have to get an impact player at #11.

I agree with your assessment that Starks would be a great fit as a free safety to pair with our cadre of box safeties. @Phoenix49ers, I am curious how Starks compares with Mukuba as a free safety / single high safety in your mind.

I was pounding the table for Minkah in that draft. Then the guy who created this thread did this for Mcglinchey

People complain about ignoring OL when this brain trust highest DB pick has been 64. I'd be shocked to see a DB in the first.

I think Starks is clearly better.
I would put Mukuba and Xavier Watts close who could possibly be there with our second pick
if we wanted to go in that direction.

At pick 11 I want BPA and this kid is a top player in this draft IMO. I don't want Mcglinchey 2.0 where we reach for position when there are clearly better players available. That's just me; I know others feel differently and that's fine

been digging into this guy and I'm impressed. He played all over the field, nickel, even linebacker, he looks elite.

Wouldn't argue that point at all
