I think this should be our first round pick. Now, some may immediately jump  to the obvious conclusion that he's an undersized CB that doesn't fit the system we've implemented here, but think outside the box. The best FS in the league today and the key piece that allows Seattle to do what they do in the secondary, Earl Thomas, was an undersized CB coming out of Texas who converted to FS with the Seahawks. What he was known for which helped him make up for his size and be ranked the number 2 corner in his class after Joe Haden was his great instincts, ball skills, range, work ethic, and tackling. These are all the same things Ifo is known for. His measurables are also extremely similar to Thomas's, where he is 5'9''-5'10'' 195lbs with 4.4 speed coming out. I think Ifo can be a carbon copy of Thomas in our system and is more of a fit there than the actual free safeties available in this draft like Kurtis Drummond.

Mad Libs should be our first rd pick?

Not a bad idea. He has excellent speed and great tackling ability, as well as top tier coverage skills. Not a bad idea at all.

Are you sure he was a CB coming out if college?

Thomas was safety at Texas. He actually played some SS iirc while in college

I was actually expecting to see a link to some Al Jazeera website.

Thomas was a cornerback at Texas. His second position was FS/SS, much like Ifo's second position is free safety.

Had him listed as the number 2 rated cornerback behind Joe Haden. You can also find any number of UT articles from the time referring to him as a cornerback. You can also, you know, watch highlights on youtube of him playing corner.

I thought he played both.  His RS Freshman year as Safety then moved to CB.

The official Texas football site says he played safety.


Sometimes he dropped down and covered slot receivers. Aaron Williams played CB at Texas and converted to Safety

---

I dont remember him playing much corner at Texas either, mostly at safety

---

I'm sorry but Earl Thomas was more of a heavy-hitter coming out than Ekpre-Olomu is.

 

I-E-O is more of a corner than he is FS/SS.
