as a reminder, bengals have the last pick.
And you are on. Go ahead and finish us up.
Amerson definitely fits what Seattle likes in a CB. There are a number of those big, lanky, physical corners in this year's draft. Wouldn't be surprised to see the Saints take a guy like Amerson.
bengals! we traded 2nd picks. silly watt.
You know, I read your post. I really did. But my moronic mind read Bengals, and saw the Raven, and thought it was a Bengal. Easter was waaay tougher on me than I thought it was gonna be this year.

Analysis
Strengths
Possesses a developed, athletic frame with good muscle definition throughout. Rare athleticism for the position, which may result in a move to outside linebacker in the NFL. Highly instinctive defender despite his relative inexperience. Gets a jump on the ball and shows terrific straight-line speed, agility and a burst to close. Possesses long, strong arms to make the wrap-up tackle and flashes explosive hitting ability. Good flexibility and balance when dropping back into coverage and has the athleticism to handle responsibilities in man coverage. Good awareness in zone and possesses good hand-eye coordination and ball skills, overall. Surprisingly stout at the line of scrimmage, using his arm length and flexibility to get under the pads of blockers and create a pile for teammates to close on the football. High effort in lateral and downfield pursuit. Versatile defender who could prove to be a moveable "chess piece" for a creative defensive coordinator. Just starting to scratch the surface of his potential...
Weaknesses
Only emerged as a full-time starter as a senior... Was not often asked to take on and shed blockers at the point of attack in this scheme, though when he did, Alonso's aggression and arm length were usually effective. Is a bit of an agitator on the field. Is very willing to play to and through the whistle when he can. Plays with reckless abandon, showing no hesitancy in leaving his feet or crashing into the pile, concerns only because of the fact that he's struggled a bit with injuries over his career, including missing the entire 2010 season with a torn ACL. Had agreed to play at the Senior Bowl but elected not to participate and instead allow his left wrist to heal after sustaining an injury to it earlier in the season. Has had multiple run-ins with police, though (to his credit) none over the past two years. Was charged with a DUI February, 2010, ironically just hours after Kelly had announced that Oregon would be ramping up penalties to players who ran afoul of the law. Alonso was also arrested on charges of burglary, criminal mischief and criminal trespass on May 1, 2011. He ultimately pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges to avoid jail time.
Compares To: Daryl Washington, ILB, Arizona Cardinals -- Like his predecessor with the Cardinals, Karlos Dansby, Washington's blend of instincts, athleticism and physicality has quickly turned him into a Pro Bowler. The frenetic Alonso has a similar upside but must show the same level of commitment on and off the field that Dansby and Washington have undertaken to enjoy this kind of success.
