Bryant McFadden INFO

I like it, but McFadden is gonna get a 40-50 mill contract. It might be time to just bite the bullet and draft a couple of corners

I think corners have become ridiculously overpriced in today's game. With all the rules limiting them, meaning they can't even look at a receiver cross-eyed without drawing a penalty, corners have become some of the more marginal players with the biggest contracts.

There are only a couple that can take away a side of a field, or hold a #1 guy to a couple of catches, each and every Sunday for years on end. And they're not going anywhere.

With the rules limiting corners, who basically have to give the receiver a bit of room to operate, you can see the emergence of nasty hard-hitting safeties to make up for that. That's where to splash money and draft picks

McFadden should not see that kind of money. Kelvin Hayden got $43 million over 5 years which was absurd but he is a better Corner than McFadden. McFadden hasn't shown to be a #1 Corner yet. If he had, Pittsburgh wouldn't be letting him go for William Gay. He is what he is, a solid #2. But I'm sure like you said a team will over-pay.

If your team can get consistent pressure on the Quarterback, the Cornerbacks will always look better. They are not as valuable as they used to be in todays game unless they are one of the elite like Nnamdi Asomougha, Darrelle Revis, Champ Bailey and a couple others.

If Revis isn't quite elite now, he is only a season away from being so.

He is elite. He shut down his side of the field the entire season and as the poster said below, if he isn't viewed elite by everybody, he will be by the end of the 2009 season.

He is Top 3 right now, in my eyes and I've yet to find anyone Jet fan, Miami fan, New England fan, whoever fan, who doesn't have him in at least their Top 5.

Darrel Revis is the sh!t. I wish we had him.

I've been saying that for a while. CB is no longer one of those premier positions where you get a lot of bang for your buck.
