OVERVIEW
2014: Second-team All-SEC. Started 12 games. 2013: Started all 13 games. 2012: Started all 14 games. 2011: Played in 11 games with one start.

PRO DAY RESULTS
20-yard short shuttle: 4.2 seconds
Three-cone drill: 7.03 seconds

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Natural corner who has played and can play all over field. Played in the box in dime package and used as deep safety on a few snaps. Good length pressing and crowding receivers to the sideline. At his best as bump-and-run corner playing inside leverage. Thin but physical in run support. Covered big receivers and tight ends from the slot. Blitzes like a heat-seeking missile.

WEAKNESSES Gives away a tremendous cushion in thirds coverage. Has to see it to break on it. Instincts lacking in zone coverage and takes too long to close out receivers. Feet uncooperative at times. Has issues staying wired to receivers making inside releases. Plays at one speed and lacks long speed to recover. Not in position to make interceptions. Had just five interceptions in three years as a starter.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 5

NFL COMPARISON Chris Lewis-Harris
BOTTOM LINE Gangly cornerback with spindly legs but a willingness to play physically and with great energy and effort. Swann doesn't play tightly enough in coverage or make enough plays on the ball to be a starting cornerback and doesn't have the size to transition to safety full time, but he's versatile and highly competitive and has a legitimate shot to make a team.

Gonna have to sit here ages now taking players off the board

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Well, there'll be no shortage of competition at CB in training camp...

But why take another guy that gives a cushion as big as Patrick Robinson?!?

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

So our 6th and 7th to get back in 5th?

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

6th this and 6th next

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Dont understand whats happening with
Ekpre-Olomu,and Bennett

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Meh... don't see a lot of logic in this one right now. If he falls to you in the 6th, sure. But trading up for him? I don't really get it.

Swann played some safety last year, too


Never have enough

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Oh so we still get that 7th round stud WR then...

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

She's 40+ but I'd still draft Melissa Stark

Nick Underhill ‏@nick_underhill now8 seconds ago
Called a "bump-and-run" corner on NFL dot com. PJ Williams fits the same mold. Physical football is coming.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Saints 7th round pick? Look at the size of this guy. LOL

TRENTON BROWN, OG
SCHOOL: FLORIDA | CONFERENCE: SEC

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Officially could completely clean house in the defensive backfield.
Since 2013, 5 new db's!

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Gee, I guess the defense wasn't fine as is.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Where's Teddy?! :rofl:

No SH!T.:stupid:

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

"Swann might be able to stick as a zone dime corner in the NFL, but his lack of strength and freelancing tendencies create a fine line between draftable and ?JAG? status as a prospect."

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

I didn't know people were this big at a specialist position. I guess in 5 years, 7 foot, 400 lbs will be the average for football players.

Technically this guys is the size of The Fridge from the Bears, except the was only 6'2 and 335 - a monstrous size in the 80's.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Probably a special teams prospect and an IR/PS guy.

But giving up two 6's makes me think he may be a player.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Imagine Evans as the runt of the o-line at 6-4

Brees is going to need some lifts in his shoes.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Damian Swann traded up for? move him back to safety and get the player we all saw in 2013 then you might have something. I do not like this move

who the hell is Drew throwing to? looks like we are set at OG.

shaking my head here.

UDFA here we come.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Would any of the WR left make a impact year 1?

I like Waller and McBride though

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

General rule like our 2009 team - if you give Drew protection and time in the pocket, it doesn't matter who he's throwing to.

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Meachem or Moore to return?

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Guido Merkins will do nicely at WR

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

No guard, huh?

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

...

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

Moore and Meachem are UFAs...

Re: 2015 NFL Draft Day Discussion Thread
 

O'Shaughnessy gone! I like that defense heavy draft, but the last trade is a bit of a headscratcher. we need targets for brees too!
