Anyone seen him play? Peter King, another national media guy whose name escapes me, and Wexall all say Tomlin is extremely high on this guy and say there's a good chance we take him in round 1.
I haven't even heard of him before, and I haven't been paying really close attention, but I'm not even sure I've seen him go in rounds 2 or 3?????
Seems like he came out of no where all of the sudden

He's good but would be a big reach in Rd. 1. People will be scratching their heads just like when we took Burns in the 1st.

Yeah I did a prospect search on him, but we've been talking mock drafts and who are we taking at #20 for 3 months now, and I haven't seen this guys name one single time, now suddenly his name is being brought up by 3 different people all of sudden. These guys don't know whose going any more than we do really, but when they say Tomlin is really high on this guy, I start to worry.
 
We ain't gonna be rocking no sin around here...We finally got rid of all the sin in the locker room
 
ya now they also have us connected to lonnie johnson db Kentucky. both guys pretty rough will need lot of schooling. i don't like dbs in first round they are such a crap shoot. you cang get guys lower down and if they don't pan out you haven't wasted a 1st round pick.

It seems they'd both be available in round 2.
 
No way do they pick him in 1, no way. I am not sure I would even pick him in 2.

Would much rather have Love.

I saw some clip of him going against Deebo Samuel in a practice.

Deebo ate his *** up every time.

So, seems right we take him in the 1st. Probably even move up to do so. Obbeeuslee.

He got rocked
 
He has a cool name.

Pretty sure I saw a mock the other day with him going in the first, but not to us, and several going earlyish 2nd round. That is the extent of my knowledge.

I saw that too. Happened similar with Burns. About a week before the draft, I saw 2 or 3 mocks with us picking Burns in the first. Didn't know who he was and didn't care cause I didn't think it would happen. Sure nuf.
 
Best name in the draft. Only one year of FBS experience after playing at the FCS level is a bit of a concern when you're talking about a first-round pick. I'd be alright with him in the second.

I remember who the big one was, it was Charlie Casserly, that old senile **** (partly kidding, I respect my elders, but still, ****).

And that Deebo Samuel, he showed some serious speed in that clip (or is Rock Ya-Sing slow).

Well he does play defense, doesn't he? Keeping with the tradition and all.

Not sure even then. Deep talent around the bottom of two ,top of three. Should be perhaps a few more attractive options sitting there...

Oh, God, here we go. Tomlin, if you even dare take this guy with our pick in the 1st round....

Rock - paper - scissors was perhaps the best corner at the senior bowl, but it was a weak group. Here's what I saw. Very competitive, but not really that fast and a bit grabby with the hands when beaten. Covers well though. More of a #2 starting type of corner who should not be matched vs. speed receiver or really big receiver. I could like him in round three, especially if we did not pick a corner in rounds 1 or 2 . As many as 7-10 corners will be off the board before we pick in round two. Ya Sin might be one of those guys on the board. So yes, he's a target player in rounds 2 and 3.

The Steelers would be foolish if they spend their first round pick on him.

Why are they letting Tomlin make personel decisions on draft day? They drafted Edmunds number one last year and could have most likely got him with one of our third round picks. I think he was a big reach where we could have drafted better in round one.

Tomlin does nothing well! Please keep him away from making draft decisions. This guy is a fraud!

covering all your bases there, arent you?
too slow for quick receivers, too small for big receivers. not a #1 CB.

may as well not even bother with the guy.
or
sounds like we need to go ahead and move up to #1 to get him
 
So, there's this...
