The kid's trending downward ( never agree with the top projection). Question......would you take him at 24? Jerry Jones would .......exactly his kind of move

Derek Stingley Jr.
LSU · CB · Junior
Stingley has ideal size (6-1, 195), speed and fluidity for the position. He had a monster freshman season, but his play was inconsistent in 2020 and 2021. He is at his best in press coverage, as he effectively re-routes wideouts with a one- or two-hand jam. He has easy speed to carry vertical routes and can flip his hips smoothly to redirect on underneath routes. Stingley is always in position downfield, but he's given up some plays on 50/50 balls. From off coverage, he has a smooth pedal and explodes out of his plant/drive. His instincts are excellent, but I do have concerns with his effort and execution as a tackler. Overall, Stingley has all of the tools to be an elite cover man, but he needs to play with more urgency and aggression.
Stingley is a top 10 talent. If he drops to 24 you have to take him. Stingley is more talented then Horne/Surtain. I would draft him over Linderbaum, Green and Dean.
