Im sensing a theme here. Both CBs they picked aren't guys who physically wow you with athletic traits. What sets them apart is the competitive drive they have as DBs. Looks like they are looking for tough minded Dbs. Guys who aren't going to sulk after they get burnt one time. Come back and fight harder.

Oh yeah. They're picking football players on defense. I love it.

Just stack guys that can play

"Oh Kiper stop, this guy would've been the best on the board 30 picks ago, 40 picks ago. He is the best pure cover corner in this draft and one of the best nickel corners I've ever seen " - Mcshay

I'm starting to like this draft more and more! Give me Xavier Woods and you can have the remaining picks!

Strengths
Ultra-competitive with an overwhelming drive to succeed. Allowed just seven catches in 2016 for completion percentage against of 23.3. An annoyance from press coverage. Squats on top of his target waiting to punch and impede. Twitchy feet can stick and close to ball instantly when he reads pass. Able to flip hips and accelerate quickly. Has lateral quickness and agility to flourish from the slot. Has adequate recovery speed to make up for an early mistake. Finds ball with back to quarterback as well as anyone in college. Maintains tight coverage downfield and waits for receiver's eyes to cue him in on when to turn and find it. In three years as a starter, credited with 42 passes defensed, including six interceptions. Allowed just two touchdowns during same time frame. Showed off ball skills and athleticism with highlight reel, one-handed interception against Wisconsin. Has special teams experience as a gunner and in return game.


The bolded is just what this team needs.
After reading this i see OBJ throwing fits on the sidelines and getting knocked out by a kicking net again LOL ! gonna be fun to watch him frustrate OBJ if he shadows him

I really hope this guy doesn't get suspended. Reading up on his case there is a chance he gets found not guilty.

ESPN has him weighing 188, the graphic on here says 175.

Has a trial date set for July 24, the forest day of TC too. For the assault charge for grabbing his girlfriend by the neck...so she claims...
I am sure Dallas did their due diligence on this.

Very happy with this draft so far. Not happy with the character issues.

Hate it! Looks like Jerry has more control then everyone thinks. Back to gambling on players with potential "character" issues. How many players will this make in the past 3-4 years? I'm so sick and tired of it.

On top of that, he may be a strong tackler and good at coverage but he will get smoked by the taller receivers (ie NY's Engram and Marshall). He also has a tendency to draw a lot of flags. PI is the absolute worst penalty a team can get in the NFL. This was a step back IMO.

You are totally wrong here. Awuzie's SPARQ score was near the highest in the draft this year. He is just slightly less physically gifted than Byron Jones
