Underhill: Kool-Aid McKinstry is polished and ready to play RIGHT NOW (2 Viewers)

[St. Geezy]

This is a really good article though I can’t post any snippets due to site rules, but he really goes into depth about what makes him a great prospect, how technically sound he is, and how he is a rookie that should immediately contribute. In fact, in Underhill's admittedly amateur opinion, McKinstry is a player that should START even if everyone returns.

I must say, I am really excited about this draft and UDFA period. We really added some studs to this team last week.

My only concern with him is at Bama, he was extremely handsy and pulled on WRs a lot. Will not get away with that in the NFL. I guess many CBs have to make that adjustment from college though.

Isn’t he undergoing surgery? So does that impact his readiness?

I like him. He's not concerned with flashy interceptions. He just wants to lock his man down.

He had surgery after his pro day and expected to be ready in June.

The article indicates he will be fully healthy in June.

They are still quietly shipping Lattimore hoping for a team to get desperate at give up more than they would if not.

With our injuries it would be wise to keep him this def need good corners at all time and would rather Kool Aid win the spot beating out Lattimore, Adebo and Taylor rather then just giving it to him. They should let Kool Aid performance make Latt expendable not his potential cuz if he bust and Adebo or Taylor get hurt we going 7-10

I don't know about that. He seems to face guard a lot. You can get away with that in college. In the NFL, savvy WRs will just stop and let him run into triggering a flag.

Definitely will not get away with that since he's a Saint lol.


I was not too excited about the pick at first, even tho I like the player and knew the value was great at 41. Just felt we didn't need a corner, after thinking it thru tho, with Adebo in a contract year and Latt up in the air I love the pick.

This pick and the Rattler pick were forward thinking imo and I'm down for that.

Grabbing the best player on the board is never a bad idea. It always works itself out.

Indeed, the NFL is making defense very difficult to play nowadays. And don’t get me started on this year’s main rules changes!

The tea leaves point to Latt being traded if the right deal is presented. The backup QB competition and the competition at CB will be must-see action during camp and preseason.

Latt & Kool Aid outside with Adebo over the slot? Taylor as your dime? That's nice.

Adebo can't play the slot.

Kool-Aid is best for the slot.
