Early on I'd argue that he was one of the best in the league. His physicality left something to be desired, but that could be said for a lot of corners around the league. At times it seemed like he was lacking in the football IQ department, too.

To me, this isn't something to get all excited about. He's a guy that, for the most part, did what he was drafted to do. Anarumo obviously prefers more physical corners. With that and his unfortunate recent injury, the time was right to move on.

He could have been better, but the team could have done a hell of a lot worse than Dre Kirkpatrick with that pick back in 2012.

Hard to argue with this.

Just look at our subsequent first picks since him

Eifert
Dennard
Ogbuehi
Jackson III
Ross
Price
Williams

You could even make an argument that Dre was the most successful of them
