KDawg Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Just like with Forbes, we got a very good football player. Can't be upset by that as far as individual player evaluations go. He is an immediate and absolute upgrade to McCain as well, so we got better with this pick for sure. Like Forbes, this guy finds the ball and is aggressive. I don't think he has the same anticipatory read skills that Forbes has, but Forbes is probably best in class at that skill. One of Quan's legs probably weighs more than Forbes' does, though. It's clear that we targeted guys who are near the ball. Turnovers are an emphasis. For that purpose, we got a great player. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fear the hybrid spot wears him down. Martin is the hybrid, and provides excellent scheme flexibility. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mhd24 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 According to Kim, they considering trading up for Martin due to his versatility. Basically, he was their target because was his ability to play the slot and buffalo positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of him being described like a Waffle House breakfast, I like the pick. If you gonna to go BPA, it doesn't hurt doubling down on the seconday in a passing league.

In 5 DB sets that seem like there's a bit more chance for a run, Curl is Buffalo Nickel, Forrest is SS, Martin is FS, with pass more likely Martin is BN, Curl is SS, Forrest is FS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just interesting to see them list him as a corner in the draft, but Ron talking about him made it seem to be: 1A) Free Safety 1B) Nickel Corner He did mention the Buffalo Nickel, but still get the sense he is their FS. Chris Simms had him as the #1 Safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 I love this pick. Maybe we'll finally break that second round gaggle of failures we generally grab. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinsinparadise Posted April 30, 2023 Share Posted April 30, 2023 NFL draft 2023: Best prospects at 53 different skills Best deep-field range: Jartavius Martin, S, Illinois Martin can match in coverage, and he's an explosive mover with good speed. His 4.46-second run in the 40-yard dash ranked third among safeties at the combine, and we see him open and run well on tape. His deep range fits as a center fielder or Cover 2 safety in the league. Martin can cover some grass here. One of the most versatile defensive backs in this year's class, he logged 12 pass breakups and three interceptions for Illinois last season. https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/draft2023/insider/story/_/id/36147742/nfl-draft-2023-best-prospect-every-skill-top-traits-accuracy-speed-strength-instincts-blocking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can hear the disappointment and shame in their voices as they barely attempt to feign the slightest bit of interest in playing for this franchise. KJ Henry's dad was excited at least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinC Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 A guy who you can line up single high or deep half and the rotate down to play off man over the slot. They can play some more of that inverted cover 2 they tried but kept blowing. Ability to disguise coverages - got to love that. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 Quan was one of those players apparently that NFL scouts were higer on that the draft media. McGinn's scouts had him high, too. With some exceptions, just listened to Greg Cosell talked about him, loves Martin, loves the pick. Logan Paulsen said he was his top want when 47 came up. Chris Sims loved him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
