DeJean is a better athlete than him. The reason I rate him highly is because of his versatility. He can play safety, he can play outside corner, he can play slot, he can play man and he can play zone. He also gives you a viable threat on special teams if needed in a pinch.

He's a natural athlete and because of his versatility I think you get more opportunities of having success out of him. At the very least, I think he'll end up being who everybody was hoping Jabrill Peppers would be in the NFL when he left Michigan. 

Agreed on Arnold. Not a fan of his. His counterpart, McKinstry is a better overall player in my opinion. I like his potential. I think his potential is high enough to where he could be another Jaire Alexander type in the NFL. 

Kalen King is a really good man-to-man option in RD2 in my opinion. He's been a good player for Penn St. Again, another good school and program putting out promising talent on defense. 

I don't think he's as good as Joey Porter Jr. was coming out of school last year but he has CB2 potential and that's at least one less starter you have to worry about if you need one. I think Kalen King has high end potential though. 

I like Wiggins size and he probably has the most potential to grow as a football player at the next level.

Wiggins 40 time if officially clocked at 4.2 is going to more than likely solidify him as a top 15 pick for some team. That's really good straight line speed for a 6'1 prospect.

I don't think his weight will scare too many teams off. It didn't stop teams last year from drafting guys like Forbes and McDonald (DE/OLB) earlier than expected. Wiggins at least already had some good qualities and a reputation on him leaving Clemson.

Good stuff. Another guy to keep an eye on is Andru Philips out of Kentucky. I was really impressed him vs Clemson in Gator Bowl


Official 40 times:

Nate Wiggins: 4.28
Quinyon Mitchell: 4.33
Decamerion Richardson: 4.34
Nehemiah Pritchett: 4.36
Daequan Hardy: 4.38
Max Melton: 4.39
D.J. James: 4.42
Terrion Arnold: 4.50

I like Max Melton. Played at Rutgers with Christian Braswell, his counterpart that we drafted last year in RD6. Melton comes from a good athletic family. That 4.39 at 6'0, 190 pounds doesn't surprise me one bit. 

He doesn't seem to get beat deep at all from what I have seen. I would take him in RD4 though if he's still on the board and see if he can be developed for a year or two. I am honestly hoping we get a jump up in play from Braswell in year two. Similar to Montaric Brown. 

The other CB's to watch for me are Khyree Jackson out of Oregon & T.J Tampa out of Iowa State.

Odds are that he does if he slips past the Chargers. I could see the tacks taking him to pair up with Levis for years to come. Too many mismatch opportunities for teams and with Callahan coming over there to coach them from the Bengals he'll probably see it the way most people see it.

2nd year QB that's scrappy with a big arm that likes to play backyard football with a big athletic mismatch player at TE that can run and catch, block and get open. It's very easily an early opportunity to create a safety blanket for himself as a play caller and 1st year head coach.

1. Mitchell
2. DeJean
3. Kool-Aid ( depending on injury)
4. Arnold
5. Jarian Jones

Jarian is one of the best, if not, the best slot corner in this draft class. His performance today did him big time favors.
