You have to think the guys taken at this point and later are practice squad guys.

OVERVIEW

A two-sport athlete, White played with the basketball Seminoles for six games in the 2013-2014 season. He quickly decided, however, that football was his best future profession. White was primarily played as a reserve and special teamer in 25 games in 2013 (12 tackles) and 2014 (three tackles). He earned a starting spot for all 13 games as a junior (25 tackles, two for loss, one interception, and two pass breakups). White was also a 13-game starter and honorable mention All-ACC from league media pick in 2016, intercepting two passes and breaking up four passes.

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS
Spies quarterback from quarters coverage and drives early to underneath routes. Shows good awareness of routes around him. Willing to overlap his coverage responsibilities from off-man. Long arms and big hands. Jams with quick reaction time post-snap. Looks to land punch on inside shoulder. Crowds the outside release. Held opponents to completion percentage of just 32.1 percent in 2015. Allowed just one touchdown over last two seasons as field corner.

WEAKNESSES
Skinny and plays with a narrow base throughout the rep. Obvious balance issues transitioning from press into his turn. Lacks patience from press. Opens to first fake he sees. Tall, stiff backpedal. Gives away inside leverage, allowing open throwing windows. Poor career ball production with just 11 passes defensed. Slow to get head around to find ball. Delayed stick-and-click burst forward from backpedal. Waits on running backs to bring action to him. Allowed total of eight missed and broken tackles four to just 22 total tackles this season.

DRAFT PROJECTION
Round 6-PFA

BOTTOM LINE
Finesse cornerback with limited ball skills and production as two-year starter. Coverage stats from junior season garnered attention, but his 2016 tape was average, with marginal instincts and coverage inconsistencies from press. Length is a plus and he does have talent, but he needs technique work to iron out some issues.

They took four corners. Garrett is a square

Off-topic: NFL Network posted the selection just before some bad weather bounced my satellite signal. The screen is stuck on the pick.

I hope hey don't take Edwards, Goodrich and Lattimore in the 7th.

Brugler had a 4th to 5th round grade on him.

STRENGTHS: Desired height and arm length for the position…quick-footed athlete with speed to stay attached to receivers on go routes…eager to press and jam at the line of scrimmage, disrupting the tempo of routes…quickly unlocks his hips to turn and run…baits throws from zone coverage, watching the eyes of the quarterback and undercutting the route (see interception vs. 2016 Clemson)…stays low on tackle attempts and uses his length to wrap…didn’t get home enough, but was an active blitzer on tape…named a senior captain and has a level head on his shoulders…joined the FSU basketball team after the 2013 BCS National Championship Game, seeing minutes at guard in the ACC Tournament and NIT (gave up basketball to focus on football after the 2013-14 season)…durable and started every game the past two seasons.

WEAKNESSES: Lean lower body…inconsistent mechanics and footwork, playing tall in his transition with choppy pedal steps…struggles to control his momentum and can be run off routes, losing balance at the top of routes…swatted by physical receivers at the line and needs to improve the timing of his punch…questionable ball awareness downfield and struggles to find the ball…routinely gave up inside position on tape…shows flashes of route anticipation, but not consistently…handsy away from the line of scrimmage and will draw flags…willing, but unreliable in run support and requires fine-tuning as a tackler…at the wrong end of a multiple stiff-arms, leading to big plays…often lost outside leverage and gave up the sideline to ballcarriers…marginal tackle and ball production.

Can one roster handle the combined swag of Ryan switzer and Ben boulware

Act. Of. God.

Drafting for that 10 CB formation with Bryon Jones at NT

Bout damn time

 

[Chuck 54]

Very strange....had few balls defended, yet gave up only 32% completion last two years as a field defender.

 

[ghst187]

Meh rather had WR Ross or G Braden or a LB

 

[PBCCowboy]

Patrick Watkins 2.0?

 

[RS12]

Did I read that 40 time of 4.63?

 

[big dog cowboy]

Ourlads has him rated as a 4th-5th rounder.

 

[Sasquatch]

I hope hey don't take Edwards, Goodrich and Lattimore in the 7th.

I was thinking this all looks very familiar. Let's hope this time turns out better than the last.

Anthony Brown called and said no!

I really don't care who we take after the Xavier Woods pick. This has been one hell of a draft for us. I am so pumped!!!!
