I see all of that. But I see Browner also. I also a CB that hates to tackle in run support. He is a FS IMO. If your going to draft the kid that and that is your plan so be it. I can devote the time to him. We can not dump Jairus Byrd till 2017 at the earliest, so we need some one. I just want some one at FS that is good in run support and more refined in pass coverage so we can clear Byrd from our books. If this is to be the guy they better be ready to coach him up and make sure his football IQ is enough to work with.

As a CB I think NFL WR are going to abuse his physical playing style. Add to it the conference Baylor played in is not really loaded with top notch QBs.

I am just so hesitant on the kid as a CB. I do not like read react skills as a main selling selling point at CB. Instincts are huge. Read and react is a safety trait.

Hagan, you did see him tackling, laying out the running backs, right?

You did see his incredible timing on the ball, that is instinctual?!

I am trying JP I am really trying but I just can not go here. close but.....

I watch more than few baylor games and I was not that impressed to see him in round 2. Just like Andrew Billings at 12.

Then there is the speed offense thing also. covering half a field at a time against WR running weak route tree makes me pause. While the spread offense is a high scoring, fun thing to watch, it does little to get college players ready to play at the pro level.

I will have to chew on this pick for a while.

Xavien may be better suited to play safety. The kid likes to mug you at the line & that is a no no at the NFL level. Will have issues with shifty, quick receivers. Saw him last year vs Texas Tech at Jerry land stadium ... big corner.

Good value in the 3rd rd.

Side note: I wouldn't touch him in the 2nd.

Re: 2016 NFL Draft Prospect Thread ...............

Today was Marshalls Pro-Day
My homer favorite, Swedish guard, Sebastian Johansson had a good day.

OL Sebastian Johansson
40 yards: 5.14
Vertical jumps: 32 1/2
Broad jump: 9-5 (Would have been tied for second at the combine)
Pro bench (225-pound reps): 26
L-drill (3-cone): 7.27 (Would have been best result at combine)

The Saints had no representative there today but I am still hoping

Sean Payton and Jeff Ireland had dinner with Mackensie Alexander last night apparently.

Really? Interesting ... nothing on Dodd or Lawson?

How in the heck could MacKensie not have a college interception at Clemson? Odd.
