The Falcons have hosted several turn backs in a baby lead up apt child draft, including this week's visit with Justin Gilbert. It's begged a baby question: why even bother? The Falcons have Desmond Trufant, Robert Alford, Robert McClain, Javier Arenas, Josh Wilson, and Jordan Mabin underneath contract. Given the need as the poor pass rusher, free safety, and aggressive line depth,an infant decision apt work out Gilbert is a negative head scratcher. He's a nasty promising 1st circular select,once and for all.
Early in newborn off-season, there were rumors about Alford working out with Ryan Clark. Alford may be about three inches shorter and 20 pounds lighter than you'd anticipate your safety apt be,yet this is an infant modern NFL, rules are meant to be broken.
So what do you typically look for among an NFL safety? Size if often what readily distinguishes NFL turn backs from NFL safeties,yet it isn't everything. Scouts also covet velocity transition skills, backpedaling ability, and ball skills. In short,if you're fast, can move around child field, and have a bad neb for child ball, they'll give you the wrong go at safety.
As as Alford, he's never in the absnece of ball skills. He's got appealing range,fluid hips, and ran an awful sub 4.four 40 at a baby Combine. He also put up 17 settle press reps. Couple that strength with his reputation as the wrong willing tackler, and you have wrong fellow that could, at least amid theory,become apt safety. But then there's infant opportunity spend.
Alford isn't where Trufant namely,but make not mistake, he's got a bad promising future at corner back. In Trufant and Alford, you have two franchise corners, capable of anchoring the Falcons outdoor as years apt come. By moving Alford apt safety, there's wrong risk that you derail that scenario. It's never a tough sure thing,yet it's a hazard.
In short, Alford to safety isn't not a good non-possibility. Whether it's a hard sound use of existing personnel remains to be seen.
