Durability 1 Injured left ankle in second quarter of 2008 Music City Bowl but returned to the field in the second half.

Character 1 Does whatever the coaching staff asks of him and a hard worker off the field. Intelligent person and player. Member of French honors organization.
Defensive Corner specific Traits

Recognition Skills/Toughness 1 Extremely instinctive in coverage and rarely gets caught out of position. Reads receivers routes quickly and gets a great jump on the ball as a result. Shows good awareness in zone coverage and does a nice job of baiting quarterbacks. Is not afraid to get his jersey dirty.

Closing Burst 3 A quick-twitch athlete and footwork is excellent. Smoothly transitions out of backpedal and shows above-average closing burst when the ball is thrown in front of him. Plays faster than 40 time indicates but there are concerns regarding his deep recovery speed.

Fluidity 1 Fluid and naturally flips hips when asked to turn and run with receivers. Elite ability to stop and start and does a sound job of mirroring receivers in man coverage.

Ball Skills 2 Natural hands and has experience lining up at receiver. Plays the ball extremely well and does a nice job of breaking up passes without getting flagged for pass interference. However, he isn't tall enough to compete for jump balls working against bigger receivers. (See 1st quarter Georgia 2008).

Run Support 3 Is willing in run support and shows some toughness. But his tackling skills must improve, especially in the open field. Also slight concerns about ability to shed bigger receivers.

This kid is much better. and is still available, but i still think we should have gone OT with Meredith.

I guess they feel really comfortable with either Heyer or Williams at RT.

Hopefully Meredith will fall? To the 5th round? Gahhhh.

Williams will play RG, he is too big to contain quick DE's

I'm taking Caldwell all day he could have Casey's job by mid-season.

I think he'll be a solid player, but 1) DJ Moore is better and was available, and 2) why wouldn't we go OLB or OT???

Sidbury and Meredith were there for the taking. "BPA"? I'd say it's ignoring the fundamental weakness of the team and the major reason for the second half collapse. Need to address the offensive line.

Caldwell was gone by the time we were up. I think meredith could, POSSIBLY, make an immidiate contribution at RG.

ok lets trade carlos for picks and get some picks for his as s

do we have a 4th rounder?

God, im still not over that damn pick. wtf, there was so many players out there who are better. Damnit.
