Cine/Booth
Don't get me stated with how disappointing this pair has been -- and how that reflects on Kwesi.
I am just wondering as I sit recovering from my own ear infection, if Cine and Booth are so far down the depth chart, will they and can they be expected to play a lot on special teams. I believe Cine was injured last year on special teams -- he seems like a player that is perfect for special teams but I don't recall any splash special team plays (unlike certain other DBs). Booth I don't recall playing special teams (I haven't watch any preseason) and I think he is a candidate for trade. I actually think that if the Vikes pursued Trey Lance, I could see s straight-up Booth for Lance trade.
With the money Lance is due he shouldn't even be considered for a trade unless the 49er's eat most of his salary.
I like what I've seen from Cine. His run support instincts and speed in pursuit has been very good. If he fixes his tackling, I think we have Harry's replacement. Booth is a different story. He hasn't even flashed, either in coverage or in run support, or on special teams. He gets closer to being a bust with every passing day. Would not at all be surprised to see him traded while his 2nd round pedigree is still fresh in the minds of NFL GMs.
I don't think the Vikings will go after Lance though. It's too early to give up on Hall IMO. And I think they would have to in order to make room for Lance.
Speaking of disappointments, can we get Ingram to play special teams too because he can't pass block

Cine: Cine was never asked/required to tackle in the run game, as he had Jordan Davis, Jalen Carter and Nolan Smith on the front, at UGA
& Nakobe Dean & Travon Walker, at the second level.
Of all the players from the phenomenal UGA D's from the past 3 years, Cine should have jumped from the tape. He didn't.
El Busto.
Booth: Unfortunately, made of glass. Well known before the draft. Took him anyway.
Well KAM that didn't work I guess next year we can trade down 20 spots in the first round and try again.

First draft Ive ever turned off and went to bed on. I was soooooooo pissed that we passed on Hamilton. A once a decade safety prospect was sitting right there.

Hamilton is a beast, I think he was the highest rated rookie defender according to PFF.I thought it was a no brainer pick as well. Then you add the trade down with the Lions with crappy value and it was not a very good first look at novice Kwesi as GM.
Booth was just a bad choice unfortunately. Sucks.
@"StickyBun" said: Booth was just a bad choice unfortunately. Sucks.Yep. It’s kind of funny. If he were on another team he feels like exactly the type of player Kwesi would try to trade a 7th for. But as it is, I’m not sure he’ll even make the team. And our CB room is thin as it is.

Once every few drafts I get a man crush on a player, Hamilton was one of those times, not full on throwing a tantrum when they passed, but I was pretty fucking pissed and I will be honest, it has kind of jaded my view of KAM.
Booth survived. This is what being a first rounder gets you, some chances.

2nd rounder. And he still might be traded. But yeah, tough to give up on a guy with that much talent in only his 2nd training camp, considering he was hurt much of his 1st. Still, I go by much on what I see and I'm just not seeing it with him. Cine is a different story.

At this point, his problems are numerous including no longer being a scheme fit. This is when you shop him for a player on another team who doesn't fit that team's scheme.

That's right, thanks for the correction.
