Which is exactly how a roster should be built.

Continue to bring in competition year after year, regardless of the current roster.

I'd imagine Nelson makes it. That's pretty quick to move away from a 3rd round pick

We still know nothing about whether or not he can play. All these rookie CBs have to do is outplay Nelson, and that's totally possible. Two of them can play the slot (what Nelson is good for).

The scout that scouted Murray said he has the athleticism to play the slot but didn't really play that role at Minnesota.

Sounds like the Chiefs like him as a tough outside CB.

Agreed. The guy was a 3rd round pick, not 3rd overall.

But Dorsey's not standing pat, which I like.

You cannot have too many CB's/S in today's NFL. If too many turnout good then you don't have to pay 5-15mil a year for a FA or a 2nd contract quality starter unless you choose to.

In terms of round value, might be the best pick made by KC.

PRO DAY RESULTS

Vertical: 34 inches

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Team captain and three-year starter. Patient from press coverage and plays with balance. Disrupts receivers with well-*placed jabs. Plays with desired feel for his man throughout the route, working to stay in his pocket. Good short-area quicks to squeeze routes and close on throws. Challenges catch without running through receivers. Good leaper with high-*point ability. Instinctive and disciplined. Attacks catch point rather than man when in position. Forced a fumble all four years at Ga Tech. Should not be limited by scheme.

WEAKNESSES Needs to get head around earlier with back to the ball. A little clunky flipping hips and changing directions sharply. Recovery speed is very average. Play strength needs improvement to challenge NFL size on perimeter. Waits on receiver after short catch giving away valuable yards after catch rather than attacking downhill. Head ducker in run support and finishes with arm tackles over chest*-up approach.

DRAFT PROJECTION Round 3

NFL COMPARISON Justin Bethel

BOTTOM LINE While White is just a shade smaller and slower than teams usually like outside, he makes up for it with his instincts, athleticism and cover skills. White is relatively clean in coverage and is able to stick to his targets, but may not take enough chances to become a ball *hawk who takes the ball away. White's ball skills and feel for the position could put him in position for early snaps as a third corner and he has eventual starter potential.
