77 tackles, 5 TFL's, 9 pass break ups 3 forced fumbles and 4 picks.

From a 6-5 235 pound safety. If he's there in the 6th we need to draft him and move him to LB.
 
yeah , might make a great rush OLB, bet he can cover already too, wow he sounds really like a good developmental guy, very smart and aggressive .
 
I was reading on this guy and he seems interesting. He's been clocked between 4.4 and 4.7 in the 40. He had a good AllStar week.
 
We interviewed this kid at the East West Shrine Game. I believe we were the only team to do so. Someone correct me if Im wrong. He has a medical flag that will need to be evaluated, but he has had the issue resolved through surgery. I think the kid is a genuine talent, but I think if we are serious about getting him we'll probably have to snatch him in the 5th and I think he is worth it.
 
Sounds like we should just let him play safety..? Wait wait wait, Harper and Jenkins were only ranked the two worst safeties in the league because of the scheme. Yeah let's shift him out of position and set up a 2 year project. Just kidding. But not really.
 
high heart rate is why he left Georgia tech, awesome player if we can get him late, dropped down due to health issues, but his father played for the baltimore colts
 
Lets gives him a shot he is worth a 5 or 6th besides we do well with low picks/ undrafted guys
 
In a 3-4 safeties get left on an island a lot. He might be able to handle the TEs, but I cant see a 6'5 235 pounder playing effective man to man with speed receivers down-field (ie: Juilo Jones).

We might want to pass on this one in the draft and expect he will fall through the cracks. If his stats clearly indicated that he belonged at a D1 school (like say if he had 28 pds and 9 ints) he would be more interesting, In a 3-4, he would bring no more to the table than roman harper as a safety. If you move him to linebacker though, then you have to make a long term project out of him like Junior.
