FBG Michael Boulware Tackles 83 Assist 29 FBG Marcus Trufant Tackles 55 Assist 8 Boulware didn't come close to that in 04. And Trufant has had 2 years of way above those projections. What has changed?A. Wilson DB Ari M. Trufant DB Sea M. Williams DB Cin Michael BoulwareErik ColemanSean JonesDarren SharperMarcus TrufantThomas DavisScoring is .5 for solo, .5 for assist, 3 int, 3 sack, 2 FF. So tackles are what I'm looking for. Trufant seems like a great pick, and Madiue williams. But I heard MM is being moved to FS and might lose tackles. Trufant seems like a solid 80-90 tackle guy, I'm just not sure why the projections are so slow. I need a DB with the next pick, and those are my best options. If anyone has some advice please pass it along. =)

 
Boulware was not a full-time starter until later in the season. For a guestimate on his '05 stats, look at Boulware's last four regular-season games (26 solos, 5 assists, 1 sack, 1 INT, 1 FF, 1 PD). I would also highly recommend looking at his Wild-Card game against the Rams (11 solos, 1 assist, 1 PD). He's a flat-out monster from the SS position.Trufant's stats could take a nose-dive in '05. When Lucas was lured from SEA, the Hawks were forced to replace a top-shelf CB. Unfortunately for Trufant's FF potential, SEA was only able to land Andre Dyson and Kelly Herndon to fill Lucas' shoes. Why is this bad for Trufant?? Opposing QB's will have little incentive to throw at Trufant when the pickings will be aplenty by attacking Dyson and/or Herndon.Regarding your next pick, throw a dart. You have many solid options. I would have no qualms selecting Wilson, Boulware, Davis, or Williams. If you twisted my arm, I would probably choose Boulware given the LB corp he'll be playing behind. Wilson would be a close 2nd. With all of this being said, I do think Davis will be the best long-term DB (if he indeed stays at DB).

Erik Coleman and Madieu Williams are your best shots with the next pick. Both figure to be prominent figures at safety next season. Behind them are Sharper, Boulware, and Sean Jones who are all solid talents but have unsure situations and injury histories taht are not so great.

not only that, but trufant has switched sides of the field away from where the best WR is usually lined up to protect his shoulder, so he can lead with the one that hasnt had surgery when he tackles, all the more reason for QBs to pick on herndon and dyson.
