Not affraid to admit when I'm wrong

That was a concern. Thats why he lasted as long as he did in the first round. A true CB with his measurables would have gone much sooner. The bottom line he was drafted on potential as much as anything and he hasn't made the transition.

"Andre Woolfolk is a raw corner who needs a lot of technique work, but he has a ton of tools to work with. Combines excellent size with superb athleticism. Quick and agile. Somewhat inconsistent in coverage, but flashes great ability. Needs to add strength and become more aggressive in run defense." http://www.bigblueinteractive.com/draft/drpros03.htm

"Andre Woolfolk CB, Oklahoma, Woolfolk is very raw, but he has tremendous potential. May be worth the risk for a team with two first-round picks."

The Steelers were seriously considering Woolfolk in the first round at #27 before they traded up to get Polamalu. Good move for them.

 

If the Titans had not taken him he would have been gone in a few picks. The point is he is and was "raw" and has never developed. Injuries have something to do with it but apparently he was a risk as any "raw" player is. NFL scouts drool over the physical attributes and every commentary on Woolfolk was postive in that direction. However, alot of "raw" players never get past being another athletic player that never develops as a quality football player.

 

This happened and I will go on record saying he is the best run stopping db on the team.

 

That's not saying much....:ha:

 

The 7th round is a pretty safe place to draft a guy like that.

 

Exactly ^^


Reynaldo I don't think ever had Woolfolks measureables, but I think he did have that "raw but with potential" mark on him, right?
