5'8" is too small and would only work in the slot. Sorry, but I'd draft production and size, especially on my D.
You need to watch that kid from Indiana then.

Def agree you can't make a living off having all the DB's be too short, but some of these guys are just pure football players with real instincts and ball skills.

Too slow.....
He never looked slow during games.

That said, he didn't do much (if any testing) at the Combine and reportedly didn't run or do any physical testing today either. He did have a couple injuries last yr but pretty much played through them, so I wonder what is up with him choosing to do nothing. He's not a 100% lock to be a 1st rd pick so you'd think he would want to test out.

There's a reason guys like him refuse to test, especially a borderline 1st round guy. I'd stay away with a premium pick.

CJ Allen, all of his college seasons I believe. You can tell the difference between the prior two yrs and from mid season or so on last yr.

He's an excellent player and was a real QB on defense. Glenn Schuman (Bulldogs DC) noted Allen made virtually all the calls on defense, with few exceptions.

I had been holding out hope he might fly under the radar and get into day three and we'd somehow snag him there.

I think he's a lock for day two now, might even end up going late 2nd rd. Really good overall talent, his issue at UGA was loaded TE position every season and they had to find reps for all of them.
