The Blue Board

Nah. The only person who has him top 5 is Greg Cosell which is not really a real mock draft. He doesn't take into account anything except his perceived needs of the team, and tape. No character etc.

I hope the Bills get Gilmore.

FSU had 90 passing yards in that game between 2 QBs. No WR had more than 25 receiving yards.

PT care to give me an assessment of his game? I've read the scouting reports, but would like to hear from someone who watched pretty much every game live.

But to answer OP, though he had some rough spots as a sophomore due to coverage break downs behind him, I think he's the clear #2 CB. He struggled with finding the ball for the first game or 2 in 2011, but really had a solid year.

He's started for 3 years, he's physical, he's big, and if you question his speed watch him chase down Rainey in the UF game from 2011. I think his tangibles outside of games sometimes make people have a tendency to overrate him, but there's no reason he shouldn't be a solid NFL corner. HOF like a Champ Bailey? Unlikely. But a long, solid career should be expected.

Yep. Alot of times last season it looked like he got burned but he was supposed to have saftey help and he had a different responsibility in zone. Also he has only been playing CB 3 years. He was a fulltime QB in HS with series here and there on D. I dont think he should go ahead of Claiborn but I think he is the #2 CB and could go anywhere in the top 20 or so and as high
as 7.

Scouting report from SC fan.

Bills looking strongly at him at #10, want to know what we are getting.

What about 90yrds passing FOR THE ENTIRE team, with no single receiver having more than 25yrds, is evidence that your comment was even close to correct?

If a team needs a #2 CB, then Gilmore would fit nicely. I think when you get past Mo, that all the CBs have their strengths and weaknesses.

Dre seems to be the guy that has the prototypical size that the NFL wants and that will probably get him drafted high and he is a great tackler on the corner as well.

After that, I think it is a toss up between Gilmore and Jenkins. All 4 should go in the 1st round or definitely by the top of the 2nd round.

Not sure if Gilmore will be a team's #1 CB, but he is very versatile and could find an early starting spot at safety even if a team is deep at CB. Any team just looking to bolster their secondary would be a great fit, IMO.

I would rather have a versatile guy that can cover more than someone that can make plays. I think that is a very overhyped title anyway. Players that are in position don't get thrown at as much to begin with.

I think he has good ball skills and would be a good fit in Buffalo. You guys are putting together a great defense and definitely just need a few finishing touches in the secondary and they could be dangerous. Perfect set up for a team in that weather going up against the Jets and Patriots in the division.

Gilmore is big AND fast. Another thing on gilmore, and maybe a key reason he is shooting up the board, is he is a VERY high character kid, very good in the film room, model student athlete. This comes across in the team interviews and has probably helped his stock a good bit.

My ass feels fine
