This reminds me a lot of the Justin Blackmon discussion on here before he was drafted. People made a big deal about his average size. Nowadays, average size has become a red flag to people. 5'11" and 180 lbs is perfectly acceptable size, especially considering he plays more physical than his size would indicate. The league is filled with elite corners of similar size.


Vh3 plays a premium position and all indications are that he is a premium player and at a position of need. We would be foolish to pass on him if he is available. Shutdown corners are probably the rarest players outside of elite quarterbacks. Look at Marv Lewis' philosophy, which he has gone on record as saying, that the secondary needs to be filled with elite, first round players as a priority over everything else on defense.
