Grab him. He's raw but has talent. His sophomore year at ND he was talked about as a future first rounder but then he got into trouble with the cheating scandal and played just OK his senior year.
If we are trolling for Sammy Seamster types we might as well be all over this guy too.

Yes until after week 3. Then if you use a claim you fall to the end.

He wasn't a late rounder. Chiefs took him in the 3rd. He was projected Round 2-3 by "experts".Oh good, we are going to have 150 plus threads on every player cut.
So if he was a late rounder, why does that make him better than Frazier, and it is not because he was picked 2 spots in front of him. If that is what they meant.

ANALYSIS
Strengths
First-day starter from the time he stepped foot on campus. Angular athletic build. Plays fast. Smooth hips and light feet opening from press. Plus route recognition. Anticipates and mirrors routes in space sitting in receiver's pocket along the route. Quick responder to playaction and sprints back into his responsibility. Observant from zone and off coverage. Shows recovery speed needed against long speed. Looks to do it the right way as tackler. Strikes with chest or shoulder and wraps up.
Weaknesses
Can be posted up by size. Flatfooted pedal slows plant-and-close ability. Displays some balance inconsistency in change of direction. Ball skills can use work. Hyper-focuses on his man rather than finding the ball and making a play. Can speed reaction time to what quarterback's eyes are telling him. Broken fibula at the end of 2015 creates medical concern. Missed all of 2014 due to "academic dishonesty".
Draft Projection
Rounds 2 or 3
Sources Tell Us
"He has second day talent as a cover corner, but he's not as big as you want and now the broken legs might complicate things." -- AFC regional scout
NFL Comparison
Aaron Colvin
Bottom Line
Smart, experienced cornerback has strapped it on against some of the best receivers in the nation during his time with the Irish. Russell has the athleticism and cover talent to play press coverage and make a living there, but he may never produce as many pass breakups or interceptions as a team would like. Played outside and from the slot and offers that versatility to an NFL team as a future starter or third corner.

So, if you claim him, who is the roster cut? I don't think right off the bat you can count on him to do what Wilcox or Heath do. Maybe one of the sorry LB's? One of the two FB's?
