I actually respect Riddick. Would love Joseph top of 3rd but doubt he falls that far.

Isn't the 3rd where he's projected to go on most boards? But like Joseph too, if not for injury he would go higher for sure.

Give me a better football player over a better athlete every time.


And better production. Joseph was leading NCAA in INTs before he went down. Everyone talks about Joseph and his physicality/hitting, but this kid always puts himself into position to get a great jump on the ball.

I like him.
Seems to have a nose for the ball.
Early 3rd would be great, but I agree that he may not get past the 2nd rd.

If the Cowboys were high on him, would anyone be upset taking him at 34, if we couldn't find a good enough trade down partner?

Hard to argue with that production. After Jerry and Garrett both called out the defense over lack of turnovers, I have to believe play making defensive backs are going to be favored

I like he too, but I'm concerned about him playing strong safety in this league. He's too small yet hits like he's Kam Chancellor. And that's tailor made for injuries.

I don't see why he wasn't converted to corner in college. He seems like the perfect corner.

His size is what's going to drop him into the 3rd round. He's a Bob Sanders. Excellent physical guy who will knock the crap out of you.............and himself far too often. I think we take a peek at the top of the 3rd but not before then.

I agree about the size but somebody is going to take him in the 2nd with those kind of intangibles.

You might be right, bro. I like the kid A LOT, but I think there's a good chance he can be had with our 3rd. Doesn't mean we take him but I'm hedging that he's on the board when we pick.
