One thing I like about him is hes all business. That would be a welcome sight from dealing with those babies like Zeke and Jaylon. I've come around on him even before the pro day. They should take him at 10

He is all business. He’s as polished right now as a lot of the corners in the league, I think.

If he makes it to 10 he will very much solidify the back end of the Cowboys defense.

I think he's got the longest list of strengths I've ever seen on NFL.com. I always like it when they use the words elite, explosive, and outstanding.

Strengths

• Father was Pro Bowl cornerback and is now a coach.
• Finished with 38 consecutive starts at Alabama.
• Elite physical traits with prototypical athleticism.
• Technically proficient and trusts that technique.
• Unwilling to flinch or overextend through press fakes and release.
• Feet and length to punch and widen receiver's departure.
• Recognizes routes and will run them for receivers at times.
• Gears up and down with synchronized timing to the receiver.
• Outstanding when it comes to timing up opening to phase route from press or off-man.
• Consistent attention to detail and discipline.
• Fluid movement with early acceleration from transitions.
• Long strides with choppy feet for three-level coverage.
• Shuts feet down instantly to phase comebacks.
• Feel for responsibilities and positioning in quarters and Cover 3.
• Locates ball and challenges catch when back is to quarterback.
• Explosive leaper to win jump balls at highest point.
• Gets on top of pass catchers quickly to limit run after catch.
• Committed wrap-up tackler with finisher's strength.

I am on board,i dont want to draft a corner in the top 10 but we could so a lot worse than Surtain.

 

[CouchCoach]

The key is will be be there at 10? What other teams picking 1-9 had their people there?

With Farley having surgery, what effect has that had on the draft boards?

At this point im 100% convinced that Pitts is the dream scenario with Surtain being the realistic target and Slater as the backup option.

You're probably right.

You're probably right.

What a year to be picking in the top 10. Not even one Defensive linemen worthy of a 1st round grade. Of course thats how it plays out for us.

That's what I've ALWAYS thought.

So i'd say right now based on team needs....Lawrence, Fields, Sewell, Wilson, Pitts, Devonta, Chase, Lance were locks to go in the top 10. Cowboys pick at 10.....its hard to tell what the Bronco's would do at that pick at 9. Could they go linebacker with Parsons? Go corner? I believe if there's a team that takes defense first it will be them at #9...

I think Horn could be the target in a scenario where they move out of 10
