I've been watching some tape on this guy. This is the so-called ball hawking safety everyone has been clamoring for, for several years now.

Thoughts on this guy?

Fits in well with our group of guys, I think.

Good player. A second round pick probably.
 
I would be stoked if we pull in Nakobe Dean and Pitre.
 
Like him but I’d be shocked if we spend a premium pick on a S…..unless he had a major injury or some other major red flag

I think that if we can make up for the talent level lost from losing Gregory, even if it's upgrading at another position on defense, then we do it.
 
Dudes a stud…he reminds me of JOK a bit.

No homo. But look at his thighs.

I like that for smaller guy. That's what helps him hit.. that, he has a wide frame, big bones.. for a small guy.

Id love to see the guy in Dallas but upgrading the DL is the best way to improve the overall defense vice the backend if you have to choose only one. No question.
 
He was a just a total stud for Baylor this year. He is a guy who is a change a team culture guy too. Just made big play after big play
Last year.

I have no idea about these types of safeties though. Some are studs in the pros while others gett exposed trying to cover all these offensive freaks.

I understand.

Still, this guy can make an impact.

That's my theory, too. A few years back, I was high on Matt Elam. But his career tanked and I think he was recently cut by an XFL team. He ended up in Baltimore though, which may have been part of his decline with the culture there and all.

I think they bring in these kinds of guys, if they're smart, though. This guy has great coverage skills. Not just good. So I think he can rise to the occassion of covering the kind of freakish athletes you mention. Because he is one.

I like guys who just want to win.

I visited Baylor when I was applying to colleges because I could drive from Austin.. Nice campus. Just the town was too small and I wouldn't have fit in very well, most likely. But they do have a great athletic program.

They actually have a WR, too.

Tyquan Thorton.. Could be a nice pick up.
 
Do you guys actually think a true ball hawk safety sits around until #56?
Also, do you see a second round safety starting ahead of Kearse, Hooker, or Wilson? I don’t see us drafting a safety anywhere in this year’s draft unless it’s a late developmental type to play special teams. We are also hoping to develop Mukuamu (sp).

Not just that, but most quarterbacks on the college level just can't fit the ball into tight spaces and often telegraph where they are throwing. Some defenders are able to adjust to facing better QBs and better WRs and some aren't. Figuring out which ones is the hard part.
