My first two rounds are Lawson and Cedric Griffin, CB from Texas in the 2nd. Herm said the key for CB's is to find a CB's (and players) who fits/fit the system, which is Cover 2. Lawson fits the DE spot to a T, as does Griffin. This is from the Scout.com magazine, typed word for word...
Pos: Physical cornerback with good upside potential. Jams opponents at the line, fluid turning his sips and easily runs downfield with receivers. Quickly breaks to the throw, has a burst of closing speed as well as a hard-hitting style. Active in run defense, attacks opponents and shakes the ball loose with jarring hits.
Neg: Mentally hesitant, slow locating the ball and gives up receptions when he should not. Struggles making plays with his back to the ball.
Analysis: A terrific athlete with good upside, Griffin could start at the next level in the proper system. Best in a zone system or press coverage.
