It just limits him to being a slot corner. He looks more like a safety to me he probably would be a really good one, but I guess he doesn't like hitting much.
Josh Norman ran a 4.6 and he isn't a slot cb. I don't go off 40 time that much. He's an outside guy. He seems smart which makes up for speed sometimes

while a good point, keep in mind Norman was a taxi squad guy for years before he put it all together. its very hard to play on the outside without top end speed, his hands and physicality make it possible. same for Brandon Carr (not a huge fan but similar approach)

OJ is a top 5 player in this draft though, if he is at 12 u have to take him. He could be the best TE in the league and soon. But yea obviously for OJ falling into the 20s and going to a good team would be better.

Oh I completely agree about Williams being the 2nd best pure edge rusher. But he isn't an every down player right now thats his problem

Allen had a meh combine but all it did was solidify him as more of a 4-3 DT. U don't have to worry about length at that position. He will be one of the best pass rushing DT

:mjlol:

Alabama players (outside of Julio Jones) are never the best at anything in the NFL. You're about to be in for a rude awakening if you think these guys with be great pros. At best they will be a serviceable starters. That's the Alabama way. Mediocrity.

My sleeper in this year's EPIC safety class = John Johnson (Boston College)



I was really impressed with him at the senior bowl. His combine was so-so thus I expect he falls into the late 3rd-early 4th round thanks to how deep this safety class is. However, I think this guy develops into a pro-bowl safety in the NFL. He reminds me of Tashaun Gipson.

I think he can be a steal for someone in this draft. He'll have a better career than a lot of the safeties that get drafted before him.

Niners need to quit fukking around and take Watson at 2. Other than a Heisman, his collegiate resume rivals Winston and Mariota. Yeah he's had his erratic interception issue against inferior competition and his deep accuracy isn't elite but he's showed out in 2 NCGs against 3-4 NFL talent players on defense.

Funny , this is a weak class when Gofful (

) and Wentz was a great class, and all these draft evaluators have Trubisky "grading out better".

In the right situation/team, Deshuan can really excel at the next level. Just imagine if these draft scouts saying he's not a first rounder etc. and he drops to Kansas City.

I get what youre saying but with the whole Kaep Thing I think theyre just gonna go Trubisky if they dont end up getting Cousins.
