Xavien Howard and Tyler Boyd

Trade back into the late 3rd and take Evan Boehm. Now you finally have a good draft.

Interesting...

I'd be ok with those as well.

This is what I want, but I just have zero faith in Shepard making it to us with our second pick in the round. That's why I want us to take him with our first pick and hope Alexander free falls to us

I THINK I would like this, but is Green just a workout and numbers guy or can he play?

I am also in the 2a)Alexander, 2b)Shepard crowd.

I think a WR would Be a waste of a pick here bc they won't do jack shit next year, but if we take one I want Michael Thomas.

Guy is 6'3 212 lbs with huge hands and is nasty. He's got fantastic lateral movement with a 6.8 3 cone. That's amazing for a guy that big.

Sean Davis and Kendall Fuller are projected to get picked today and this guy embarrassed them.

He sounds pretty raw to me. From what I've read he played mostly deep coverage so his man skills most likely arent that great and his tackling is suspect. But he's got the size and speed to play on the outside and he SHOULD have good ball skills since he's a converted WR.

Bet Thomas goes off the board before our pick.

1. Sterling Shepard
2. Mackenzie Alexander

Xavien Howard sounds intriguing....



Player Overview
Howard decided to make the jump to the NFL after earning first team All-Big 12 honors as a junior, leading Baylor with five interceptions and 10 pass break-ups to go along with 42 tackles.

A two-year starter, Howard started 13 games as a sophomore and was an honorable mention all-conference performer with 51 tackles, 1.5 sacks and a team-high four interceptions.


He played in every game as a reserve in 2013, including his first career start, and finished the season with five tackles and one interception.


A three-sport star who also played basketball and ran track for Wheatley High School in Houston, Howard redshirted his first season at Baylor in 2012.



Strengths Weaknesses
STRENGTHS: Sports a broad-shouldered, well-developed frame and excellent size, overall, for the position.

Well-versed in man coverage, typically lining up one-on-one opposite the opponent's top receiver. Balanced, coordinated athlete with the fluid hips to turn and run, showing steady acceleration and good (albeit not great) overall speed. Physical defender who uses his imposing build and long arms to subtly squeeze receivers toward the sideline, limiting the space into which quarterbacks can attack.


Quick, active hands to rip at the ball as it arrives. Shows good hands for the interception, recording 10 in just two seasons as a starter. Shows good awareness of underneath targets, quickly leaving his primary responsibility to defend against short passes and in run support.


Good vision, agility and competitiveness to fight past would-be blockers and is a very willing tackler, showing good extension and strength to make the effective wrap-up stop.


WEAKNESSES: Too physical for his own good, drawing too many flags for early contact with receivers. Lacks elite speed and like most tall cornerbacks, struggles a bit with smaller, quicker receivers, needing a step to gather himself while changing directions and sometimes losing his balance.


Loses track of the ball, at times, on sideline passes, opting to rip at the ball as the receiver attempts to catch it, rather than turning towards the quarterback to potentially secure the interception. Was protected by a fierce pass rush at Baylor, limiting the number of double-moves he faced.


Only a two-year starter at Baylor.


COMPARES TO: Byron Maxwell, Philadelphia Eagles - Maxwell earned a massive contract from the Eagles after racking up interceptions and big hits opposite All-Pro Richard Sherman in Seattle. If protected over the top with a rangy free safety, Howard has the size, physicality and ball-skills to continue his big-play ways in the NFL.


IN OUR VIEW: With his broad frame, Howard looks more like an NFL safety than a traditional cornerback, but he possesses the natural coverage skills and confidence to remain on the perimeter. After redshirting his first season and seeing limited action in 2013, he emerged as a standout in 2014 and hasn't looked back since, developing into one of the Big 12's best all-around corners. With patience, he should develop into a starter at the next level, as well, projecting best in a press-heavy scheme.
