8 picks this year. Possible 3rd rounder?

Plays too upright and doesn't have enough long speed In the 3rd it wouldn't be a bad pick, but he's also very scheme specific. You certainly aren't going to put him on an island and ask him to cover quick WR's 1 on 1, he'd be toast. If we do end up playing a lot of zone he could be a good fit.

He reminds a lot of Antione Cason from U. of Arizona (drafted by San Diego) a few years ago.

Tall receivers in the division could use some tall competition.

like the comparison
Cason was very solid corner.
better in zone
like the idea

He's interesting. He's definitely better in a zone scheme, as of right now at least, which is kinda counter-intuitive to his size.

He's great at fighting for the ball, it's fun watching that. But he's not a very good tackler and his time at the Combine is pretty accurate of his game speed overall. I don't think he's a good enough athlete to play any kind of press bail successfully which i'd think is pretty much a necessity given his size, he might have played it in college successfully but unless you're bringing major pressure using him in a press bail, or even occasionally man, is probably going to require safety help over the top frequently.

I think there will be better players in the 3rd. He definitely has some tools, and i'd rather build around speed, but I think his value to us is the 4th and I doubt he's there.

I agree. I don't like him a whole lot to be honest. He's just tall.
