This Years Draft

[Defensewins]

This kid looks good and is projected to go around the time we pick. I like his size, speed and most impotantly is described as very physical player against the run. I like the sound of that. Has size to play safety as well. His only weakness is he played division II

Danieal Manning
Height: 5-10 3/4 | Weight: 202 | 40-Time: 4.46

Strengths:
Has excellent size and a solid frame...An tremendous athlete...Has very good speed...A playmaker who has a knack for coming up big...Versatile and can play multiple positions...Has great instincts...Very physical and will support the run...Has outstanding ball skills...Always a threat to score...Also makes an impact on special teams as a kick blocker and return man...Was a prolific in Division II.

Weaknesses:
Did not play against a high level of competition and was a big fish in a small pond...Very raw and needs a lot of technique work...A bit of a 'tweener whose ultimate pro position is still undecided...Will have to adjust to an entirely new speed...Might not have the pure coverage skills to play corner in the pros.

Notes:
Could project to either corner or safety at the next level...Originally signed with Nebraska out of high school...Don't let his small school roots fool you because this guy is a great football player...One of the premier sleeper prospects in the draft.
