steveishere;313883I'm still kind of "wait and see" on 1st rounder Randall but the more I learn and see about Rollins the more excited I get.
Maybe this guy will ultimately turn out to be nothing but I don't think he's as far away from playing legit snaps as you expect out of most players that get labled "raw" or "project".
If Rollins had a 2nd season under his belt exactly like his last season he'd have been a top 10 pick.
I think this guy has the potential to be one of GBs best non QB draft picks in a long time, hopefully he can reach it.
What this dude accomplished in his only season ever playing college football is ridiculous.
I don't care what conference it was for a guy to just walk in and dominate like he did after not playing football for 4 years is amazing.
To add to that we've got some DB coaches that seem to be good at getting young guys ready to go pretty early at that position.

I think we are ultimately in a good spot at CB at this point.
If we end up with Hayward and Shields outside with Hyde in the slot that's still a good group but if one of these guys can win an outside spot from Hayward that means they are good and we've got a good CB in shields and elite slot CB in Hayward.
Either way it should be a fun competition to watch.


Sam Shields had exactly one season at CB and he was rated as a 1st rounder, before he got busted with weed a week before the draft.
THAT, was why he was undrafted.

The way I see it, there's a really high likelihood that either Rollins or Randall turns out to be a solid #1 or #2-quality CB, and the other either gets moved to safety or is worth at least a 6th round pick. Worth a 1st and 2nd round pick IMO if things turn out that way. If one turns into a rock solid #2 CB and the other one flames out and isn't worth jack, I'd consider it a bit of a waste but all things considered, still get a key cog in a position of need. Time will tell.
