At corner, I'm thinking the other deandre....hall. Due to his extensive experience playing zone coverage. It is hard to find kids who are good at playing zone.

I'll say it again. I watched johnathan jones his entire career at auburn and I don't get all the love. He may have the needed traits, but he will need to be coached before he is ready to play.

No Sean Davis???

[bradshaw2ben]

I don't like Sean Davis at all as a corner. Lost in coverage many times. As a safety, maybe, but, to me he's a close to the LOS guy who can't be counted on in deep coverage. Sort of a tweener who's a better athlete than football player.

Deiondre Hall is okay and, yes, he's good in zone. He doesn't use those long arms to re-direct and slow down receivers the way he should, and I don't like his reaction to plays in front of him/run game. Don't see him as good a fit. I guess as a developmental talent, I should have included him perhaps. I feel the same about Kendall Fuller and Xavien Howard, but for different reasons.

[bradshaw2ben]

Basically, if I watched a guy's tape and he got lost in coverage so many times that I lost count, I didn't put them on my list. Maybe you can coach up guys like that with talent but I'd rather focus on guys who can play sooner than that.
