He is getting a lot of buzz as a top 10-15 pick. He's a little undersized, but literally, nobody throws it at him. I don't think he has a single INT. Nobody really knows how well he can track the ball, or what his ball skills are like. Will he be able to hold up against the bigger WRs in the NFL?

He's a hard one to really get any type of gauge on. The Combine and Pro Days will be big for him.

edit: plus, it looked like he might have shredded his hamstring in that championship game.

It's extremely rare that a CB is equally as good against speed receivers as he is against big receivers. If he can man-up against Antonio Brown or someone similar, I'll understand if he struggles with Dez Bryant--that's why we got Jimmy Smith.

He better be able to hold up against speed receivers at his size, I was kinda taking that for granted.

I love Jalen Ramsey and Vernon Hargreaves, really want us to draft either one of those, or Bosa or Tunsil if they somehow falls to us.

Also, why aren't Mackensie Alexander receiving any buzz as a top 10 pick right now? Been very impressed with the tape i've seen.

I really don't want Bosa. I think he's profoundly overrated. He has the smell of a bust or at least a big disappointment.

Would rather have Buckner by far if we go pass rush.

Buckner is the one who smells of complete bust lol.

Bosa seems like your typical high floor/low ceiling player. Also seems like an HGH baby who will probably not be quite as talented in the NFL when everyone is using PEDs. I'd still take him at #6 though, since he seems like a very safe pick. If he was more dominant as a pass rusher I'd be more excited about him.

If he lowers his pads he'll be fine. I'd love Calais Campbell 2.0.

That's what worries me. We really don't need any more run stuffers who can't rush the passer...

Size is a trade-off. Yeah, a guy like Revis can match up against anyone, but Sherman struggles vs speed and Grimes struggles vs size. Hard to knock a guy for not being able to cover everyone equally. He's still worth a top pick to me.

Of course it's a trade off. The great ones can do both, but the great ones don't come around every day. Alexander is going to be a similar size as Grimes I think. He'll be a little bit bigger, but probably not a whole lot. Alexander is definitely thicker though. I wonder how bad that hamstring is. He was in all sorts of pain and could hardly walk.
