Message: <blockquote data-quote="SoonerPack" data-source="post: 608391" data-attributes="member: 9838">I love the pick and fully expected all the Ted is an idiot garbage.  This kid is a corner that was forced to play safety.  Todd Graham, ASU HC and former Tulsa HC, places extreme value on safety in his defensive scheme and wanted the kid there for his ball skills.  I live in a suburb of Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and went to many Tulsa Hurricane games when Graham was coaching there and they aren't kidding when they say he puts a major emphasis on safety.  If you watch film on the kid you see him at the LOS a bunch and he plays just like a corner.  Mayock RAVED about his change of direction skills and the fact he used to play centerfield has contributed to his obvious ball skills.  Mayock ran some tape on NFLN after the pick and his footwork and hip flip were damn near flawless.  Mike M doesn't project bums and reaches to go #20 to Phiily as he did with Randall.  The tackling thing has me a tad confused.  One sentence you read how he is a "willing tackler" and while he doesn't deliver the "kill shot" he gets his man to the ground.  The next sentence speaks to his lack of tackling prowess.  I suppose he got pushed into 106 guys last year or something?  This kid has a knack for big plays, 4.4 speed, great ball skills and according to Mayock some of the best secondary feet in the draft so I am more than fine with the pick and to be honest the more I read the better I like it.  It was the 30th pick in a rather mundane draft so what did you expect?  I wanted a LB but that doesn't mean we won't get one or this kid isn't a good player.  This kid will play immediately and I think he is going to end up surprising many of you.  Go watch some tape on the kid and I think you are going to be smiling when it's over.  Another poster hit it on the head earlier with the "I have never heard of him so he sucks" mentality being on full display (not necessarily here) and it is tired and predictable.  We need help in the secondary and just got one of the highest ranked guys in that position group so relax, sit back and crack a coldie or 2.  In Ted this guy trusts...Oh yeah, last year the Corey Linsley pick got a C grade last and the Carl Bradford pick got an A.  The draft is a crapshoot as we all know and Ted and Co. see something special in this kid so why not give him a shot.  Also, I can't find an real injuries in his past which is always comforting.  I am looking forward to another fruitful day tomorrow so   good night and as always G  P  G!</blockquote>
