Think we can be all on board with this pick. Great value at a position of need!

Projected round 5 pick. I was kinda of expecting Howie to take him in the 4th.

Yeah I like Wallace. I'm sure I've seen him projected all over the place.

Wallace was an excellent pick

Surprised this pick wasn’t a punter or kicker

Come on.  Projected by who?   Anything after round 2 is all discretionary anyway.

K’Von Wallace | S | Clemson

Elevator Pitch

Wallace is a big time striker from the safety position. He is at his best when he is in run support and blitzing from his safety spot. When he is around the line of scrimmage he can make plays one on one as he is a fearsome hitter. Don’t discount his ball skills, he can create interceptions as well.

Vitals

Height | 5-11

Weight | 206

Class | Senior

Strengths

Wallace is at his best when flying downhill. He provides some pass rush ability as a blitzer off the edge or right up the middle. Too quick for most offensive lineman to pick up. He is a striker when comes to attacking the ball carrier. Can really leave a pop on ball carriers.

Wallace can play coverage as well. Will click and close from his safety position very quickly. Does a better job in zone than man coverage due to his ability to read the quarterback. Does possess ball skills and has the athleticism to bring it all the way back.

He is a versatile defender who can play from several different positions. At Clemson played some nickel cornerback, free and strong safety. This allows a defense to confuse the quarterback with his ability to move from spot to spot. Shows a good football IQ.

Weaknesses

Wallace’s lack of size can be a detriment against more physical wide receivers and tight ends. Not a guy you want covering them especially in man coverage as he can get bodied and doesn’t possess ideal length and size to combat it. He is easily beat on quicker receivers without the speed or quickness to recover.

Inconsistent as a tackler, can come in too high which allows the ball carrier to fend him off with strength. Working deep coverage is also a problem for Wallace. He can be a bit aggressive and will bite on double moves in hopes of jumping the route. While he has some ball skills, he will miss some opportunities.

Projection: 3rd-4th Round

He was projected to go anywhere between rounds 3-5. Versatile S, good fit in the defense. Position of need, played big time football at Clemson. This is a good pick, I was hoping for him or Robertson.

For a DB, he has good hands. He makes INTs.  We need guys that can generate turnovers and our DBs and LBs drop a lot of potential picks.  I think Wallace could actually come in and win the job from Mills. I'm not sold that Mills is a safety in the NFL.

Actually they say one of his weakness was he drops a lot of INTs. 

hes more of a explosive hard hitting, in the box safety. Nice blitzer, hits gaps. he is not your high safety for sure and lacks tackling in the open field. In the box kinda guy.

This is the first pick im totally on board with.  Did Howie get fired last night?

Even with his supposed deficiencies, he still is a better prospect to win the job than what we have now.

So ESPN shows highlights of an offensive tackle instead of a S from Clemson, cool.

Apparently he's been made to step aside on making picks.

I could see him taking over at SS and Rodney and Jalen are your high safety with the option of Jalen going back outside if needed

Good pick

Yeah I could see that. I have to say I do really like Wallace.

Any Clemson safety will always be compared to our legend.

I can't see anyone going that far with it.
