4. BW Webb - Looks and plays small.
5. Nickell Robey - Excellent college player but too small.
6. Leon McFadden - Talented but raw.
7. Tyrann Mathieu - Small, character issues.
8. Darius Slay - No notes.
9. Robert Alford - Great cover skills, speed.
10. Tharold Simon - Big, covers well. Poor tackler.
Here are a few more who I like:
1. Bidi Wreh-Wilson - Good cover, run support. Good hands?
2. Logan Ryan - Covers, blitzes well. Good tackler.
3. Adrian Bushell - Fast, covers, tackles. Great ST, KR/PR.
As I mentioned, those were my first notes when I started to look at them. Since then, more information has become known about some of them.
Banks apparently has marginal speed. That would be the only reason we could have a shot at drafting him. If he had run a 4.4 forty, he'd surely go in the 1st Round.
Unfortunately for him, Robert Alford has Crohn's Disease. I have no idea how that will affect his ability to play in the NFL. He's a heckuva football player, though. If the Skins were to draft him, I'd be very pleased.
Not new news, but:
Despite the negatives about him, Tyrann Matthews is a football player. He has great instincts and determination and he could be a steal for some team.
Leon McFadden only played one season at CB. He is very talented and would be a great pickup in the 5th or 6th Round, IMO.
Likewise, Adrian Bushell is an exciting, multi-talented player who might be there as late as the 6th Round. He could really help on ST while he develops.
I know this post is long, but I'm really excited about the DB's in this year's draft who I think could help the Skins.
