Duke Tobin on draft
#7
(04-20-2023, 05:54 PM)Nate (formerly eliminate08) Wrote: Eh, too little film to make any assumptions on Dax's play last year. I bet he struggles a touch early this season but grows into a 
better player than either Bates or Bell. He is so much more talented in all aspects and is a better tackler than Bates coming out of 
college and is way faster than Bell. 

Agree with your last sentence though, if we can play it to our advantage while picking up a pick or two that is ideal.

Oh don't get me wrong- I agree it's (waaaay) too early to write him off. But can't deny he's had virtually zero impact to date... to the point that I've seen safeties commonly mocked to the Bengals to "play alongside Nick Scott." As far as the league is concerned he almost doesn't exist. 

I get the reasons, and some of them are valid, but I can't imagine that was the plan. We heard a lot about three-safety looks (that never materialized) or how he would displace Hilton/Flowers on TE coverages (never really happened either). He was the fourth most valuable member of the draft class behind Volson, CTB and Carter, and ahead of two Day 3s who either didn't play much (Gunter) or play at all (Tycen). If this is a guy who we really wanted and were thrilled to get in Round 1, he's off to a rocky start.
