My thoughts exactly

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.

I dont see this guy as a game 1 starter...that is what we needed this year with our top pick....a bit bummed frankly

[That Guy]

and he can be a reserve this year if he need experience... though it'd be better if he could start.

and yeah, i wouldn't be mad if we moved up to get a guy like swearinger either. if we pile up enough bodies, our pass D should eventually improve...

No.

Usually when people question the skins pick recently that player ends up being pretty good. Could have been worst.

True. Just like Alf Mo. Who would've thought that would pan out.

Each year, I watch the draft. Each year, I promise myself that I'll follow college football a little more so I can know more of the guys getting selected. Needless to say, I failed myself last year.

He is the exception, not the rule and I dont remember anyone crying reach on him

[skinsnut]

would have rather had Taylor...but oh well...they want a gambler I guess

[Skinsfanatic]

Amerson is also tall. like 6'2'.

That may depend on what happens in the next round.
The future is never solidified this early.

Fans may have questioned who Morris was but, no one questioned the pick . We "know" who Amerson is and he seemingly was a reach. I say it was a desperation pick but, I can see Shanahan justifying this pick by saying Am person was the top rated SAFETY on their board.
