Quote:Hargreaves is a worthy top 10 pick for someone, just not a team that has a pretty good stable of DBs already like the Jags. No doubt he is an elite playmaker, but I think his coverage skills are a bit overrated.

 

As we saw multiple times last year, and a few times this year against ECU, Hargreaves is susceptible to getting burnt deep. Fortunately, a very soft slate of opposing offenses thus far, plus the overmatching dline, he has had a pretty easy job to be honest. 

 

As mentioned, VH3's size is an issue too. I like that he plays bigger than he is, and that he is very willing to stick his nose in as a tackler. Unfortunately, his size doesn't really allow him to be as big of a tackler as he tries to be. Again, as we saw repeatedly last year (and this year w/ the back issue against UT), he gets banged up frequently. It seems like half the season last year, and against against UT this year, he is leaving the field every other series because he is fighting through some kind of ailment. That does worry me as I think it could only get worse in the bigger, faster, stronger NFL.

 

For a DB desperate team like San Fran, I would be perfectly fine with taking Hargreaves top 10...for the Jags he doesn't quite make it into the Jalen/Jaylon/Jack top tier of need/talent to me right now. 

 

Ummm...  I don't really remember him getting beat deep at all at any point.  I'm sure there have been a handful over his 2.5 years, but I can't remember them.  Certainly not against ECU this year considering he didn't even play.

 

Also, Ole Miss' offense isn't soft.  East Carolina's is pretty good too.  And Tennessee has put up some points as well.
