Melvin White, CB/FS Louisiana-Lafayette
6'3, 191
Tall, lanky defensive back. Technique is raw, but he's fast enough on the recovery to be an extremely effective Tampa 2 corner or a roaming safety, a role he played effectively at Louisiana-Lafayette. Long arms with a history of batting passes and kicks, this is a guy we plug into special teams on Day 1 and who could potentially see meaningful snaps at various DB positions in the first season.
Tackles aggressively and, for a guy who can play corner, reasonably soundly. If we're looking to spend a 4th-5th on a strong Tampa 2 prototype with raw technique, this is the guy I like.
NFLDraftScout has him (stupidly) at something like their 40th best corner. Absolute silliness. Huge fan of this kid.
