IMO, Kirkpatrick is a weak CB. Never seems to be in correct position; misses a lot of tackles; looks spastic when targeted. Way to much salary too.

His on field production isn't even that good to warrant such a huge (and sensitive) ego. Double dip and grab Deiondre Hall in the 3rd or 4th and tell Kirk to eat shit.
Edit: if he really was referring to the run on receivers than I apologize.
because he was mad all our WR potential picks were snatched and his post on twitter came before the bengals pick was announced? really?
Spend 4 years developing a starter then we you need him cut him loose... Sounds like a browns formula to me.

Good job at reading the entire post.

These are the PFF ranking for our 5 regular DBs last year (Jones, Hall, Kirkpatrick, Nelson, Iloka):
84.6
82.9
38.4
85.8
84.0
Anybody want to take a stab at which rating is Kirkpatrick's?
I don't like PFF rankings lately, as they don't tell the full story anymore.
Kirkpatrick was the 2nd most targeted player in the NFL and definitely flagged a lot.
But where's the completion percentage against him? TDs allowed? Passer rating allowed?
Not taking a shot at you, this is targeted at PFF, but PFF has started to fall off as the years have gone on and they aren't giving all the stats everyone wants to know. It just says that's his ranking. Why is that his ranking? No idea. There's not really stats to show it.
They used to do that, but not anymore.

Can't use a 1st round pick on a #4 or #5 CB, and then pay Dre Kirkpatrick $7.5m to suck. That's a double bad taste in the mouth.
They could still cut DreK before 2016 season. Don't think it would happen. The option is there though.
I don't think it's guaranteed money until 1st day of the season.

Nah he will start especially in a contract year. Maybe the guy will play when money is on the line because pride isn't enough. Even if WJ3 plays out of his mind I would still want kirkpatrick on the roster for depth this year.

Kirkpatrick will have to earn his starting spot all over again and if Dennard is healthy Kirkpatrick may just be the 3rd guy.
In any case, I love the fact that this team values corners so high. Many teams just suck at the position.

People are still believing that it's about WJ3? For the 10th and last time people it was about the string of WRs taken right before our pick

The hate for captain kirk is ridiculous. Our D wouldn't have been the second ranked scoring D if he was as bad as the haters say. You aren't the #2 defense in the league if you have such a weak ass CB playing so many snaps.
Exactly. I don't understand this Dre K hate. He's a big part of the reason we had such a strong defense.

Look, he didn't mean to tweet that as early as he did. He was early just like he has been on all of his PI and illegal contact penalties he's had over the years.

And I'm mad too.
Context is key.
This.
I saw when he tweeted that during the draft and loved that fact that he was watching the draft and reacting the same way I was. It means he cares about the team.

You're all over reacting. The tweet was because a thread came loose on his favorite pajama top and something fell out of the pocket..

Had to make an account just to laugh at the idiots that think Dre K is bad or gave up a bunch of TDs last year.
Every time someone other than Dre let their man beat them, it was Dre who went into second gear and chased them down, preventing a TD.

Yes, I know I'm right.
Makes me wonder if some of the people here even watch the games, or just vicariously experience them through some website's stat page.

Apparently.
Reminds me of what Drew Brees said about Quarterbacks. You don't really know what you have until the fifth year.
I just find it crazy nobody in here mentioned the (off the top of my head) six times Dre ran from the opposite end of the field to prevent a touchdown. Our D has been "Bend Don't Break" since the Deltha O'Neal days. Dre is a "Bend Don't Break" corner. And his hands and deflections are only getting better for someone who's played (almost) the majority of his time here injured.
Sort of sad when Margus Hunt, who's done almost nothing for us, is getting less hate than Dre K.
