ok, so how angry has this pick made everyone with it's incredible reaching?

#252 overall. Kiper says he was a 3rd/4th round grade until combine testing was underwhelming, running a 4.6 despite a sprinter background in HS. Bad day?

PFN likes him as a sleeper.

When I close my eyes he reminds me of Deion Sanders.

[BuffaloBillyG]

I vote him "Most likely to get poached off the practice squad". 

[scuba guy]

Ok so watching the highlights just turn off the music.

 

This kid likes to hit people great tackler.

[Chandler#81]

Kid has some tools!

I had this guy going in the 1st round to Cleveland

Player has the perfect coach to bring out his potential his agent should be telling him.

Sadly this is very accurate. Unless they decide that he is better / more useful than Siran Neal and keep him on 53 (saving §2.3M in cap space in the process)

Well otherwise you have to chew the trees. 

[CSBill]

Finally, a guy I wanted!! 

[mannc]

I gave him a first round grade, but then I gave out 105 first round grades this year.

I had him as #260. 😆

Looks like that typical late round corner pick they like to make. 

[JDubya76]

I like this kid, he could push someone off the roster.

This is a classic McDermott/Beane late round CB pick. Length, zone coverage skills, field awareness. I think there's a path for him to make the team, just has to beat out Cam Lewis.
