    My prediction: Foreman from Tx. I think he falls in that alpha category

    Mayock called him out on bad run support. "Recognize the height, speed, talent... he's weak on supporting the run defense."

    I like the Tankersley selection. Man, D. King is still on the board and had we taken him it would've been a ***** trying to convince people i'm not from the future. Or convince myself that the matrix is not effing with me.

    Other commentators - Tankersley needs work because he can panic and get 'grabby'. Could be susceptible to getting penalties called.

    SB Nation (Redskins) -
    Cordrea Tankersley, CB: Lockdown Potential Confirmed



    "Notes on Cordrea Tankersley (SeahawksDraftBlog)

    I spent a bit of time watching Clemson’s Tankerlsey over the weekend. He could be an option for Seattle with their second round pick or if they trade down from #26.

    According to Charlie Campbell, he met with the Seahawks at the combine.

    — Tankersley has a knack of undercutting routes, showing ample recovery speed to react and make a break on the ball.

    — He’s generally very sticky in coverage. He’s grabby and might have some rough days early in his career as he works out what he can get away with. Yet unlike Gareon Conley he’ll jam and use his hands to control the route and get a feel for what the receiver’s going to do. This is a really underrated part of a CB’s game and it’s a big problem for Conley, who too often gives a free release and the room to make a cut or double move.

    — Tankersley appeared to have a strong grasp of Clemson’s scheme and worked well with the free safety to cover his zone and pass off receivers.

    — Showed ability to bait the QB by dropping off route, getting out of the line of sight only to make a late adjustment and play the ball. This was the type of move Kam Chancellor made against the Niners in the NFC Championship game. On two occasions I saw Tankersley pulled a similar move, gaining one interception.

    — Uses his length well. Will jam at the line and disrupt routes. Has 32 inch arms. High pointed the football to make one brilliant sideline pick. Has some understanding of how to use the sideline to his advantage.

    — He’s less finesse than other CB’s in this class. He’s not Brandon Browner but he’s not Ahkello Witherspoon either.

    — Tankersley is an opportunist. Bad throws were punished. When a quarterback was moved off the spot and running for his life, Tankersley would read his eyes and make a play. Showed instinct and feel, has a habit of being in the right place at the right time.

    — He had 16 PBU’s in 2016, the same number as Kevin King (who got a lot of targets as teams avoided Sidney Jones) and only one less than Adoree’ Jackson and Tre’Davious White.

    — Tankersley matched-up vs Virginia Tech’s Bucky Hodges and won that battle comfortably, showing he can cover big, athletic receivers/tight ends. He did blow an assignment covering Isaiah Ford in the same game.

    — He ran a 4.40 at the combine so there’s no problem with long speed.

    — Run support was fine. He had a nice TFL vs Derrick Henry in the 2015 National Championship. Fine in this class is a bonus because a lot of the corners are below average in run support.

    — Athletically he didn’t have an amazing combine despite the 4.40. He only managed a 29.5 inch vertical at the combine (improved to 30.5 at his pro-day). His 4.32 short shuttle was slower than a lot of the top prospects (and doesn’t compare favourably to some of the LB’s either) but it’s only 0.03 seconds slower than Richard Sherman’s 4.29. He ran a 7.00 three cone. The Seahawks have drafted three players with a +7.00 three cone (Byron Maxwell, Tharold Simon and Jeremy Lane) and Tye Smith ran a 6.97.

    — He has the playing style of a Seattle corner and has a bit of the Byron Maxwell’s about him (Maxwell went to Clemson too so this isn’t a surprise in terms of playing style and technique).

    While the Seahawks are unlikely to see him as a freakishly good athlete worthy of the #26 pick — he could be a very solid cornerback investment in round two. He isn’t as flashy as some of the corner’s being tipped for the first round but he’s grittier with a knack for making plays."

    Is your ***** hurt because I don't like the pick? I'm not here to be your hero and see everything as rose colored! I just don't like the pick and many people say he's average and not good at stopping the run.

    Tank isn't the smartest player in the world, but can play on raw athleticism at a high level. Tackling is suspect. Has all the measurables. Good pick. If we can coach him up, it could be a nice find.

    You've hated every pick so far. All anyone is saying is give these kids a chance before proclaiming that they are absolute horrific picks that are guaranteed busts. Chill.

    I wanted two different players with #22 and we passed them 3 times ! ( McKinley,Melifonwu ) But as I expected with this class... We would go all in on DEF and it would be hard to lose that way. Harris is growing on me very quickly.

    I knew in my gut that if we went LB with #54, it would be McMillan. But I didn't expect Cunningham to be there ! Still love this pick even though I really bought in on Obi hype... Just have to realize he may not be prepared to start this year.

    Tankersley is my favorite pick so far, great value... it's just that he appears to be another boundary corner.. The eventual replacement to Maxwell, moreso than instant competetition for Bobby McCain.

    It's comforting knowing that Miami stayed at their picks and was able to draft who they targeted. Unless, say for instance, Jarrad Davis was plan A.

    Im not hurt about it at all. I dont really care how you feel about it. You're being ridiculous, so why should I be upset about your opinion? Calling the guy a bust already... :lol: That's not me caring about what your opinion is, thats simply me telling you your opinion at this point is ridiculous. Nobody said everything is rose colored, blah blah blah... but to label a kid a bust 10 minutes after he's picked? That's just... well, no offense, but it's stupid.

    It's not Fins related but with in a draft discussion world focused on Joe Mixon, booing Mitchell Trubisky, the usual pros and cons of each player, it's nice to focus on a pretty cool little story; the Pittsburgh Steelers drafting James Conner.

    Conner is well known as the "college player who beat cancer" but that's only part (albeit a large part) of why this is special. Conner was born in Erie, PA, played for Pitt, and has now been drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers 105th overall. While this hometown trifecta is rare, what impresses me about Conner is his personality and drive.

    Here are some quotes from two letters he has written for The Players' Tribune (I encourage everyone to read the full letters):

    He would turn that $50 into a full scholarship at Pitt. A pretty wise investment.

    In an era of social media creating a world where it seems like it's a competition to see who can be the most self-centered it's refreshing to see someone (especially a young someone) thinking outside themselves.



    It's hard not to wish this young man well and focus on something nice for a change. Good luck young man, take your second chance at life and make it special.

    What I loved about the 1st 3 picks, DL, LB and CB.

    What I would have picked, Zach, Tomlinson and Tank.

    We picked up a passrush DE, a run stop sam and a cover CB, targeting all 3 levels, I like it.
