3rd round pick. Good pickup. With Dwight Smith maybe moving to corner, our depth is much improved.

By far the most upside of any CB remaining. Not too long ago that he was considered worth a gamble late in the 1st. I like our draft so far. All we need tomorrow is a pass rusher and some depth for the OL and we'll have been very successful.

Kid is awesome, all the tools. Had a great junior year, but got messed up in his senior year. I think he could be great for us.

I'm worried about this guy...He lack consistency...That makes me think of 75% of the twolves...I dont like that...but he has all the tools like someone said hope he has a good work ethic

He is taller than half the wolves.

Kid was awesome his junior year. But his senior year he would make a mistake and just let it mentally throw him off for a few plays. He isnt a one-on-one guy, but in a zone system like we have he could be nuts. Similar to cedric, just not the hitter. He was actually ranked ahead of Griffin last year. I think this kid is a good gamble. If he pans out sweeeet, if not. We have winfield/griffin/smith/Edwards.

agreed it's worth a gamble, but I'm just not putting too much hope into it so if he sucks I will not be disapointed

as a wolves/vikings fan lets hope your skin is thicker than that. ;)

He said in the Strib today that he got burned a lot while trying to cover up mistakes other guys made, and then the coaching staff wouldn't always keep him on the field to make up for it. I don't think consistency was much of a problem, it was more that he wasn't nearly as good last year as he was the year before. He won't have to cover up for other guys here, and he's got the talent to be a good starter. I would have liked for us to pick up another corner later in the draft as well, but I'm very happy we got this kid.
