Please dont flame me on this suggestion but what do you guys think of him? Should we take a look at him in the draft? Hes physical.
CB, Brandon Flowers (Jr.) Draft Projection: 2nd Round Height: 5-10 | Weight: 200 Flowers is a naturally-gifted defender with excellent ball skills. He has excellent footwork and back pedals fluidly. He has great agility and doesn't lose momentum transitioning in coverage. He breaks well on the pass and instantly gets into an offensive position in defense. He's an instinctive defender who has a great burst of speed, diagnoses a play, and defends the run well. Flowers is an underclassman who's physically ready to take his game to the next level, but it remains to be seen if he'll do so. He's an elite corner with promising ability and is a definite Day One http://profootballexperts.scout.com/2/710248.html
If you guys dont think much of him then what about his teammate Victor "Macho" Harris. The following is from the same link as the previous one. CB, Victor Harris (Jr.) Draft Projection: 3rd Round Height: 6-0 | Weight: 203 Harris is a well-built defensive back with tremendous skills. He's an aggressive defender who jams opponents at the line, stalling their progress getting into their routes. He has good footwork and flips his hips well in transition. He has excellent instincts, immediately locates the ball in the air, and displays great timing in pass defense. He's a willing defender in run defense, but has to improve his tackling technique. Just like Flowers, Harris is an underclassman. But unlike Flowers, Harris would benefit from staying in school for his senior season. If Harris decides to forego his final season, he'll be an early second-day selection.
5-10 cornerbacks don't excite me at the next level. Does he have great leaping abilities or long arms?
lol absolutely not, im a hurricanes fan but i like those corners of theirs. they are very physical and i think could be good for this team.
haha, im guess you go/went to VT huh? i'm from VA too and see them a lot. mocho can make big plays but he gives up a lot more than he makes. he reminds me of roy williams like that, can make some but costs more than he makes. if you wanna talk about a VT guys we should look at is ellis, he's a beast i think. also Adibi could be worth a flier on. Flowers is good, he could be good value, hes really picked it up lately too. IMO he's not the most sure tackler though.
i think that flowers could be a good pick up along with adibi as well. flowers had 79 tackles along with 5 interceptions in 07. I dont know, i really seem to like him and always have because he is very physical with every receiver. If we can get ellis with the first pick in the second round, that would be a steal as you said hes a beast and is a very good player.
he's one of my favorites as well, i watched him make some plays this year that had me drooling, i would love him with one of our picks, i just think he may move up once the scouts see his skills, i also like vince hall.
