I like this kid. He's not quite Minkah, but he's pretty versatile.

He can play FS, SS, dime backer, has some pretty good instincts, good in zone etc. His style of play fits in well with this team IMO

Looks like we might be drafting later than we all thought before the season started, so I'm kinda starting to focus on later 1st rd protects.

Agree with your overall takeaway. Not sure if you've gotten to Xavier McKinney yet, but he's much more consistent in coverage than Delpit. Going to give Delpit a run for his money.

Dude I just made a quarter through the season mock and he's my 1st rd pick, he's a ball hawk who would complete this defense, we're on the same page yet again 👍🏻

Stop trying to make Alabama secondary players happen...

It's never going to happen.

I'm feeling okay about Bama safeties (Minkah/Jackson/Collins/HaHa)

I agree. if we can move down and still get someone like McKinney or Hall I'm down.
