Draft talk rounds 2-3

Reach, but I trust our FO.

they are saying it was a reach...why not swearinger?

As a State fan, the Front Office must have seen more in Amerson than I did.

Neutral:rolleyes:

David Amerson Draft Profile – NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/profiles/david-amerson?id=2540170)

I would have maybe preferred others, but he is still a solid pick, AND more importantly, we addressed a need.

I was scared we would draft a center or something. j/k

not happy, swearinger shouldve been the pick or an offensive playmaker

Not In love with the pock, but can see te upside and need.

Question, Safety or CB?

Amerson:

Strengths
Possesses size, physicality and athleticism to be a starting NFL defensive back. Very confident, attacks aggressively down hill, both in jumping routes, and in defending the run. Receiver-like ball skills allow him to high-point passes on jump balls and make quarterbacks pay for trying to fit a ball between levels of zone coverage. Also adjusts well to low and wide throws despite his size. Flashes agility. Will pop receivers to dislodge the ball and running backs coming to his side of the field. Wrap-up tackler, closes quickly to the ball when attacking receivers in off-coverage and against east-west runs. Works through receiver blocks in the run game with strong hands and quickness.
Weaknesses
Some teams will project him to safety unless he proves hip flexibility, agility, and speed in workouts. Backpedal will be tested by quicker receivers eating up his cushion at the next level. Takes time to transition forward from pedal, comes out of his breaks a bit slow. Can be deceived by double moves. Doesn't display run assignment integrity. Plays a lot of off-coverage and zone, needs experience in the man and press coverages in which he should excel given his physical ability.
