No idea how this guy wasn't a at least a 2nd round pick. Athletic, though, can play both man and zone. What he did vs LSU was damn impressive, I would be shocked if he's not a starter at some point this season.

it'll be interesting if they leave demo as slot or push him back to the outside and put green or Luter in the slot.

Is he a press man CB or a nickel?




Green plays with an aggressive, tenacious mindset and approach that, at times, looked like L'Jarius Sneed, a fourth round pick in the 2020 draft out of Louisiana Tech who has developed into one of the better corners in the NFL."

We didn't help them. If we wanted that kid we would have stuck but we didn't, we moved back one in that round to move up in another round.

We helped ourselves later on by letting KC get whoever they liked while we still got the kid we liked.

It's not complicated.

I agree it's not complicated. You don't help the team you can't beat. What's so confusing about that?

The good thing with Demo is we know he can play outside with no issues at all.

Green is definitely more of an outside corner, specializes in press coverage so I don't see him being a Nickel CB.
With all the touchy grab ass moves he executes exceptionally well, Richard Sherman must be drooling all over this dude
I like this pick quite a bit, looking forward to seeing what he gunna do

Not that big (6'0 186) or fast (4.49) and older (23) so physically more mature than other prospects, only one interception in college (lots of pass breakups his senior year though so he has ball skills). He was a consensus late 3rd-early 4th round pick. Maybe other teams liked him too but there were a lot of decent corners available in the 3rd-4th rounds.

Zierlein is a big fan. Of all the draftniks he's the one that is most consistently right IMO.

Time will tell.

The sights I was looking at had him going between pick 80-90 he usually didn't make it to our third pick. He was ahead of Andru Phillips who WAS picked 6 spots after we took Green. We have really reached for Kickers, Punters and TE's recently, it's not going to kill us to reach a little for a quality CB.

What is a reach anyway? I get taking a LS in the first rd but when an analyst says it's a reach, how is that defined and what is the basis? Dont you have to have a comphresive big board accounting for all factors including scheme fit, character, team scouting. The accountability of analysts post draft is zero. In general, a team gets to pick once every 32 times which means you have to reach if you dont think that player will be around when you pick next. The word reach is very loose and opinionated when it comes to the draft.

Good post. There's no way to know if a pick was a reach unless all GMs shared their big board with one another. GMs are also privy to medical records and maybe they've done research on a player's attitude which they add to the film to set the player's value. Draftniks (fans) aren't privy to all of that.

A crazy statement is to say Tom Brady in the 3rd round is a reach. Using hindsight, we know that he was not selected until the 6th round. So if he was selected on day 1 or day 2, that's a reach. So either hindsight, or GMs comparing notes, are the only ways to know whether a pick was a reach.

Reach-when you take a player against all knowing draft gurus like Kiper and Cohn's ranking suggestion cause they know everything there is to know about.

He was a second round pick.
