When was the last time a cornerback from Oklahoma State did anything anyway?

I don't know. But we should have drafted whoever their running back was last year because Barry Sanders was from OK State so that must mean all their RB's are awesome.

Chris Rockins from the mid-80s Browns glory years, that's who.

Never heard of her.

Never heard of her.

He was known to pair with Al Gross, Stephen Bragg, and mothafuckin' Thane Gash. Shottenheimer nickels and dimes, fool.

He's done everything he's been asked by the team that pays him? Give that guy a gold star!

 

[Soda]

Wonder if Hue got him an alarm clock... Or, a swift kick in the ass.

Maybe it's just reality of working at Home Depot this time next year setting in?

Slate = Gilbert's car

Someone should wake Gilbert up and tell him he has been traded.

WEAKNESSES: Choppy, hectic feet and plays too much on his heels, struggling to stay low and balanced in his movements…gets lazy with his footwork and his technique needs an overhaul, opening his hips too early and leaning his body, struggling to recover – plays too tall and struggles to stay balanced, low and explode out of his stance…too easily bites on fakes and pumps and will get himself in trouble with his aggressive confidence…too grabby and physical down the field and needs to eliminate the holding and PI penalties…inconsistent in run support with streaky tackling technique, taking questionable angles and appearing hesitant with contact – also struggles to get off blocks.

SUMMARY: A three-star CB recruit, Gilbert, who played QB in high school, committed to Oklahoma State over Oklahoma and Baylor. He had two KR touchdowns as a true freshman and had a breakout sophomore season as a starting CB, finishing with 15 passes defended and five INTs. Gilbert appeared to be reading too many of his own press clippings with an inconsistent junior campaign, but he rebounded nicely as a senior with a conference-high seven INTs. He is a very talented athlete with height, length and solid body strength, but needs to refine his technique and improve his footwork and balance in his transition – too often playing tight and upright. Gilbert adds value as an impact return man with eight touchdowns in his career (six on KR, two on INTs). He is dripping with natural talent and has high NFL upside if he fixes his technique and stay focused – 1st round tools and might be the top CB drafted, but inconsistent discipline and fundamentals earn him a 2nd round grade.

Dane Brugler NAILED him!

Dane Brugler NAILED him!

I would hardly call a 2nd round grade "nailing him."
