Among the lowest yards in the NFL and the lowest completion percentage in the entire NFL is in fact fantastic. Mitchell nor Cooper have an INT either so by your own logic I guess they are not excellent CBs as well? He's got a better passer rating than both of those guys. According to your PFF rank (which I don't put value in) Nate is also one of the best run defenders in the NFL for a CB and better than both. He's certainly given up less receptions both. He hasn't given up a TD either.  He's a future All Pro and leader for best CB last class as of today by the most important metrics.

The reason I didn't want him is because of his size and his interviews, that's why I didn't have him in my top 5.  I never said he couldn't cover.   He hasn't even made it a year yet so we will see how his body holds up.  So It remains to be seen if I was wrong on that or not yet. I mean Mitchell is the 24th rated corner, DeJean is the 8th rated corner, Jarian Jones is the 70th rated corner, and Wiggins is the 79th rated corner.  Don't shoot the messenger.

I have no problem with you preferring others in the draft process. It's a message board for everyone to have different positions and would be quite boring if they were all of the same. The fault is where you claimed he wasn't exceptional and by any notable metric that's simply not true. By your own metrics chosen to prove this (Passer Rating/INTs) he's better or equal to the others you claim are better. The logic doesn't track here for your argument. You might not be wrong over time - anything can happen, but you are objectively wrong on "Not excellent by any stretch" and I would wager that's only based on you wanting your original opinion on him to be right and not data/games as that says otherwise. 

No big deal the point of my OP was I hoped the Jags invested early as the good ones tend to be chosen early. The exceptional CBs (Wiggins/Cooper/Mitchell) prove this IMO
