I still think Desmond Trufant is over rated, but I'm impressed with that 4.38.

Same here. He's a good that likely looks good in shorts, but not quite the same guy in game.

I gotta say, he has some serious upside though. Could be a boom or bust type guy.

Rhodes: 4.43/40.5 vert/132 inch broad

well, it would have been nice to pick him up in the second round, but he won't be there.

Wow. Man just made some money.

I really think his stock is based on the family name. I watched him the entire time he was at UW, and I don't think he'll be anywhere near his brother. He won't live up to his pick, but he'll play a few years is my guess.

Honestly, do people even watch the combine before "reporting" on it? Read his Milliner summary.

Pauline

Showed terrific ball skills? He sucked today. He dropped several balls. Deion even asked him about it in his interview.

Can't say that I've seen him much in games, but he also was touted for his performance during Senior Bowl practices.

Ball skills has everything to do with putting yourself into a position where you have a chance at knocking the ball down or intercepting it. It has nothing to do with dropping interceptions.

If defensive backs could catch consistently, they would be wideouts.

Something from myself on Trufant from over 2 months ago

Quote:
Trufant will more than likely be picked a tad too early in the draft this spring partially due to his family background. He’s a big name thanks to his brother Marcus, but just doesn’t appear physical enough to trust every Sunday. He will need to start off in a slot roll for his first year or two in the NFL. Although his speed and quickness is something to be intrigued about, his consistency in coverage, and lack of run game will truly hinder his playing ability in the league. I think he has great upside, and will eventually become a decent contributor for somebody. His style of play is similar to Asante Samuel, or Kelly Jennings. Could he help our Kansas City Chiefs? Probably. But we could also do better with our mid-round picks.

Wow Johnthan Banks was considered a 1st round CB not long ago. He just ****ed that all up by running a 4.61.

Not true. Playing corner is much more difficult.

Ball skills in the context of the combine setting includes being comfortable handling the ball

This draft is one of the deeper ones I remember. It's stacked at spots we should be targeting.
