Mock Draft Results

Strengths

  • Excellent combination of size and athleticism for a safety
  • Big hitter who excels in run support - intimidator
  • Great tools - big, strong and fast - should be a workout warrior
  • Good range - can make plays sideline to sideline
  • Old school strong safety prospect
  • 3 year starter
  • Former high school quarterback
   

Weaknesses

  • Lack of coverage skills could force him to move to OLB
  • Does not play the ball well
  • Not instinctive in man coverage
  • Overaggressive and freelances too much
  • Does not play up to his measureables
  • Raw - still appears to be learning the nuances of coverage
  • High upside based on the tools but drafting him before round four would be risky
