Pretty good read, some pretty lofty comparisons for Smith and Nicks though.
Nicks compared to Chad Johnson? That's interesting. I was thinking more along the lines of Anquan Boldin.
I really like Sean Smith. He's my favorite cornerback in this draft (as well as Alphonso Smith). He's a dam good player and has all the skills. One of the few corners who I've seen play bump and run this season. I actually saw him get beat once but he had the recovery speed to get back downfield and bat the pass away.

Thats funny, I had Nicks tabbed as another Anquan as well. :lol:
Similar body type etc.
I would prefer Smith over any other CB if I had to choose. I still like Macho Harris though.

Lol, him after the catch is what does it for me. He out muscles DB's and carries them along for the ride. He's got a nose for the endzone.
I like Victor Harris as well but not as much as Alphonso Smith.
I said when he declared that Nicks would be a 1st rounder by the time draft rolled around. I also said depending on who was there i wouldnt mind if we picked him. Nicks is a beast.
