Obi Melifonwu - S

was billed and he made his pay day at the draft. I had some doubts to all the numbers hype before the draft but he shut me up. He either is one of those guys that just looks to play slower than he does or he does play slower than he clocks.

Brings me to my main question he still has not answered. Instincts? This would answer that question about play speed. Is he a read and react type of player? Which is not a bad thing as a safety as long as you believe he has the ability to reduce his reaction response to what he is seeing. This why he played SS so much

I will point out this is one smart kid. He may need to stop thinking so much and learn to trust what he sees.

After watching him him this year in a couple of games I have my doubts. The 5th round label he came in with was silly. I would have not second thought a fifth for a second. A 1/2 guy? that's up to the scouts and coaches. 2/3 guy? i feel pretty good about. Let the front office decide.

I like Kevin King as CB with a future at FS. He came in a SS and spent the last two years at CB. So moving him to FS might not be crazy.

Obi Melifonwu vs Kevin King

32 - Obi Melifonwu
42 - Kevin King

I could accept it. What a huge gamble to make a complete change to the secondary.

Kevin King is my pick. I like his instincts more.

I predict both will be off the board before we pick in round 2. I would slightly surprised to see both gone by pick 32.

Kick in a 3rd on Adoree' Jackson CB/WR/KR/PR USC 5105 186 4.43 #2 Jr

Or add a solid developmental player while rolling the dice on the secondary 6th
Shaquill Griffin CB UCF 6001 194 4.39 #10 Sr

I am really warming up to idea of converting this CB to a FS
Quincy Wilson CB/FS Florida 6012 211 4.54 #6
