Wishing him, all the draft picks and the UDFAs the best of luck

They are drafting some athletes.  A bit small but maybe he can develop into a slot guy.

A lot of crazy athletic numbers this year. No doubt some of this can be attributed to the lack of a combine and pro day numbers being fudged a bit.

Slot corner is all I’m seeing here. Too small outside but good quick twitch motor in press coverage.

Roughly the same size of the guy we drafted at #34, and I'm guessing those are exactly the types he'll have to defend in the NFL.

There was an incredible number of fast, 5'8" - 5'11" Wide Receivers drafted this year.  With the success of guys like Tyreek Hill in this league some things are changing a bit.

Mobile QB's are causing changes too.  The Chargers successfully played a 3-1-7 against the Ravens in the wild card a few years ago.

I'm very interested to see what kind of D, Saleh plays  -  jetsafetydance

Great point!  I almost forgot about that.  Saleh's been known to go 4-2-5 so maybe the thinking is similar.

179 as a slot cb?  And people are worried about devonta smith and his 166.

Fellow seems to have a good attitude.  Camp can't come quick enough.
