He’s fantastic and really is the prototype nickel CB. He’s physical and plays so well in traffic with excellent awareness.

We have CJGJ in that role though. I think we look for more of an outside CB.

Day 2 candidate? You can never have enough big nasties in the trenches. See Bucs. Some were wondering why Cam Jordan had little success getting to Brady … well they did draft Tristan Wirfs. Immediate impact player on the O line.

I'd be really surprised he's still on the board Day 2; I'd have to consider trading a future 1 for the top of R2 to get him...

Wirfs was good, but Cam isn't the player he was a couple of years ago - turning 30 is a ***** for NFL Players that are not QBs with a good line...

Some scouts think he could drop in the draft due to his injury history.

We shall see. Terrific talent though.

I just don’t know what we’re going to do at that other outside CB spot. Jenkins is great but age+money puts him on his way out. Obviously we need to pay Lattimore big money so we need a guy on a cheap rookie contract opposite him.

I haven’t watched the two Georgia CB’s yet but they’re getting first round buzz. Have you watched them at all yet?

I'm only familiar with Tyson. Good in press coverage but average ball skills. I think he will go up the draft board because he has recovery speed … 4.4 guy. Scouts and coaches love speed.

IMO he is a Day 2 selection.

Thanks Major. That’s very interesting.
