Kid looks like a real badass.

Looks as a 2nd rounder though. Notin really breathtakin except his tacklin ability.

Very aware defender, but the question is, how is his hands ?

I really don't want to see us draft a corner in the first 2-3 rounds, unless he is clearly the BAA at the time of our pick.

I like him good size, seems to have an intuitive feel in coverage but in all fairness only saw a few of his games, most notably the USC game. He looked good even though he didn't have a pick.

A lot of people are really really high on him. Personally I like him and wouldn't have a problem taking him in the 2nd. He reminds me a little bit of Ty Law in coverage. Looks like Champ in regards to hitting and tackling. Obviously not comparing talent, just how they play the game.

If that's true, then there is no way he is still on the board when we pick in the second.

Again, I wasn't comparing talent as much as I was talking about his approach to the game. He does have potential though.

i don't know anything about the guy ... but it bothers me a little bit that so much of his highlight film is kick returns and tackling.

i prefer more pass break-ups and INT's from my CB's


but that's just going by the short film

Here is his pro day stats:
