Aldon up for rookie of the week again vote | Page 3

Well, when we drafted Aldon i dang near fell out of my chair, because he wasn't even on my chart. So, someone in scouting is really doing his job. Question is, what is there exactly that the "Condor" can't do. Jeez he is fast, man he has a reach, gosh he's strong, and equally importantly, does he ever see the field. Kid is a natural Ball Hawk, and seems to sense not just where to go but he also knows the quickest route to get there. One big advantage is Justin on other end, and BigMac and Soap playing lites out in the middle. It takes some of the heat of Aldon. You can't double him and Justin at same time, nor can you ignore bigMac/ Soap. Also aldon is helped by having Bowman and p52 because that just makes way too many great players to account for. No doubt aldon is helped by having great teammates. But even all alone, the Condor is a load. Oh, and did i mention he is fast...yeah, i did, but i mean too fast to block fast. My guess is rookie of the yr if we go deep into playoffs.

how was he not on your chart? IMO the pick came down to 3 guys, prince, aldon and quinn, if they wanted cb they take prince, if they want pass rusher they pick who they like better between aldon and quinn. i'm confused as to why so many ppl were floored with this pick, guy was consistently mocked from like 10-15 and ppl act like it was the DHB pick or tyson alualu....also a day or two before the draft, mcshay mocked aldon #5 to arz
