Some good looking players on
this list. I'm intrigued by Leonard, the LB from SC State.
"...
Leonard is one of the key features in one of the best off-ball linebacker draft classes in a long time. After Roquan Smith, Leonard is probably the most impressive linebacker at a similar size -- he measured in at 6-2 and 229 pounds with 10 3/8-inch hands and unproportional (sic) lengthy 34 1/8-inch arms at the Senior Bowl..."
Leonard was a star in the making during Senior Bowl week. He was making plays all over the field. After that, I don't know how much of a sleeper he will be. I see him going anywhere from the 3rd to the high 4th round.

Lol i still have those same thoughts when i see stuff like this. I think i have a little PTSD from the jeans miff era.
Darious Williams might be my top nickle corner for the mid to late rounds. Would be a great pick in the 6th if he falls that far. 5'10 180 but he plays much bigger, a great tackler, and makes plays on the ball. Has the quickness to cover the slot WR

I like this kid.
From Jacksonville too, would be a nice addition

Agreed. He reminds me a bit of Colvin.
There should be several good players the Jags can choose from in the middle rounds at nickel.
Williams looks good. I think the Jags will draft two corners. They need a back up for the outside corners, there isn't one on the roster right now if Bouye or Ramsey go down. Patmon is a slot guy and Myrick is a 7th round guy with potential who plays more like an outside CB but lacks size.
This guy, Mike Basile of Monmouth, looks like he knows how to play safety, but his size????

If he can play a whole game the way he plays on that first play...awesome. Great instincts; identifies the ball quickly and reacts; tackles with authority. The type of character who tells his linebacker pals, "if you aren't gonna tackle the running back, would you mind stepping aside and let me handle it."
1:56 Look at how he takes on the lead blocker and uses him to make the play on the ball carrier.
There is nothing wrong with using a late pick on him. He figures to be a special teams ace. Every team has at least on ace on special teams. Then you go from there, I guess. Top notch character. Several You Tube video interview shine a bright light on his intelligence, wit, and personality. It does not look like he is the type of player who will underachieve.
