He might actually turn out to be a pretty good pick.

Still, it's hard not to chuckle

Another Rhule connection late was bravvion Roy. And as late as he was picked, hey he was solid depth and was ok that late. If Barnes is 6th on the cb depth chart it's ok for this new guy. If he's the starting pr/kr that's not sucky again not bad.

Looks like his best year came in 2019… when Rhule was his coach. Was also a WR before transitioning to a full time corner.

Odd that he’s never returned kicks or punts, only special teams snaps appear to have come as a gunner.

Yeah, he’s from Baylor. But with that kind of speed he’s a solid prospect.

I think Westry makes it too. Has some starting experience  and plays special teams. Add in dude is 6'4 and runs 4.3 range too. Will be an intersection  battle for 6 or 7 dbs. Hartfield got some heat.

If this guy can return kicks or punts we have a special teams star on our hands.

Coach Tabor might have to teach him best chance to make the roster if he can learn to play special teams

Clearly a project but we have a great DB coach in Wilks.  If anyone can get him to be a better CB Wilks in the one to do it.

We went for need with the first two picks, then athletes for the rest. I dont hate that at all. If all this guy does is make plans on special teams, I'm fine. What else are you looking for in the 7th

[Fan01]

Al Davis would have drafted this kid in the 1st round.

[MillionDollarCam]

Looks like they don’t plan to use him as a returner.

Lol never a doubt. Now the rest can be UDFA
