Nightfire made that decision so much easier for me.
I've been hemming and hawing all day on Webb - Nightfyre is right, dude's an amazing athlete. That said - he's pretty small both in height and build. He's also raw as hell and probably can't play press-man; he appears to me to be a pure zone CB and nickle defender. He's a better version of the Honey Badger, which makes him a really nice pick this late, but he's still a little limited at the next level, IMO.
So in a league with a dearth of press-man corners, there's one guy that's fallen strangely far, especially for someone that can probably do the job exceptionally well. He's a strong kid and a very good athlete (not quite as good as Webb). He has some level of competition concerns but if he didn't, he damn sure wouldn't have fallen this far. He also had an underwhelming Senior Bowl and ran a good but not great .40 time (though his other drills were great, especially the agility drills)
I was probably going to take him over Webb anyway, but Webb's explosion was tempting. In either event, in a spot where the Chargers desperately needed a good developmental CB, they have finally had one fall to them in this years Brandon Carr:
Will Davis, CB - Utah State
He's probably an early 4th rounder in the real world so I'm happy to get him a round later.
