2. LEWIS CINE, Georgia (6-2, 202, 4.36, 1-2): Third-year junior, two-year starter. "Love him,” one scout said. "He’s a run-and-hit, mean kid. He will try to get into your soul. Plays with such great effort. He’s a ball-playing Jesse … He’s a different kid. I don’t know how well he’s going to fit in every locker room. He’s very high on himself. I think the kid’s smart enough to (accept coaching).” One of the hardest hitters in the draft. "He knocked out (Kyle) Pitts at Florida in 2020,” another scout said. "It was like a post (route). Pitts missed a game with a concussion (and nasal surgery). Not a real big kid but he’s wiry and can run.” Born in Haiti. Moved to Florida at age 4. Played three years in high school at Everett, Mass., and another in Cedar Hill, Texas, where an assistant coach at the school was Deion Sanders. "Was discovered by Deion,” said a third scout. "They say he’s kind of quirky, and he is. In his interview, he’s a little bit of an odd personality. I wouldn’t necessarily be scared of that. His straight-line speed showed up in coverage. I thought he could play down. He doesn’t have a ton of experience in the middle of the field but he can do it.” Played free safety, finished with 145 tackles (3 ½ for loss), two picks, 16 PBUs and no forced fumbles. Wonderlic of 16. Was suspended twice for fighting. "He’s not a first,” said a fourth scout. "Not a great man cover guy. But he will knock the living crap out of you.”

I think he seems underrated given how he played in the Championship game.  He seems like a good fit for a zone heavy scheme.  I would really like the Eagles to get him.

I think Carolina really wants to trade down and they have no other picks to the 4th round.  I wonder if Howie can get the 6th pick just with 15 and the 2 thirds.  

Doubt that, you can sweeten it by throwing  in Dillard though

With the Giants declining Daniel Jones's 5th-year option, what's the chance they decide to say screw it and take a QB early?

He's the guy I fell in love with and now after reading that, I can tell you I won't be happy where he ends up.

Yup, same here. I'm also getting that feeling for Quay starting the last two days. Imagine the physicality with those two. You can still add a good DE or CB in round 2 with a trade up. 

4. JAQUAN BRISKER, Penn State (6-2, 209, 4.48, 2): Played two seasons at a junior college before starting two of three seasons in Happy Valley. "Second-round range,” one scout said. "Battled through injuries throughout the season. He’d get dinged up, sit out for a couple series and then come back. Athletic, good speed and instincts. Played hard and pretty physical. Made two key plays late in the Wisconsin game. He’ll start. Only concern is, is he injury-prone?” Compared by two personnel people to Adrian Amos, another ex-Penn State strong safety. "Very similar,” one scout said. "Brisker probably has more knockback than Amos … Tough, can run, can bend. He has everything. He fits in many schemes. He can blitz, set edges. He’s a wanting tackler.” Finished with 153 tackles (10 for loss), five picks, no forced fumbles and 19 PBUs. Wonderlic of 14. "I see absolutely nothing in this guy,” a third scout said. "Average size, no desire, not productive, not aggressive.” From Pittsburgh.

Eagles get both Jameson & Jordan Davis. Interestingly, has the Eagles trading from 18 to 13 and not 15 to 13.

That would be, for me, the ideal pair.

JT WOODS, Baylor (6-2, 194, 4.38, 2-3): Played alongside Pitre from 2018-’21. "You’re talking about a guy that’s a modern safety that covers a lot of ground and has ball skills,” said one scout. "I’d take him over Hamilton. I got him as my No. 2 safety. He’s tall and long, and he can run. He’s also got a ton of range covering and filling the alleys. Excellent ball skills. His tackling is a little off. Kind of a high tackler, will bounce off stuff, doesn’t break down well.” Led the safeties in the vertical jump (39 ½). Nicknamed "The Heartbreak Kid” because of all the big plays he pulled off against opposing quarterbacks. Finished with 157 tackles (seven for loss), nine picks, no forced fumbles and 14 PBUs. "He’s fast — straight line,” a second scout said. "Got some ball skills, but you wouldn’t know it looking at how he caught the ball at the combine. You don’t love him as a tackler. Not a violent dude. You don’t like the body type. You don’t want those 190-pound safeties. You want those guys to be built because they’ve got to hit tight ends and running backs, and take on linemen sometimes downfield. I think he’s a pure free safety. Can’t play in the box.” Wonderlic of 28. From San Antonio.

Wow, someone has Woods as his #2 S.  I always thought of as an early third day S, mostly due to his footwork.  Just doesn’t flip and can get turned.  But he has burst.  Maybe the best burst of Ss in this class.  Frankly, his tackling looks like a kid trying to do it right, square up and drive.  Little lean and not sure he can put on much more muscle but adding about five pounds with NFL strength training is likely. 21, but will be 22 before the season starts.  Gaining muscle at that age is not at all unusual in the NFL.  Always liked him.  Frankly, nothing I see with him that Dennard and DK can’t fix. Frankly, not surprised he didn’t run the shuttle or 3 cone. Suspect those wouldn’t be great results.   I would love to come out of this draft with him and Brisker.

Way to project all of your qualities on others all the time and argue about it.  You know you can just yell at yourself in the mirror?

Nah.  They have to figure three things with that:

1) If Jones puts it all together and really turns it around, they can franchise him (least likely option)
2) if Jones flops, they can either just let him walk clean or re-sign him for dirt cheap until they get someone new (more likely option)
3) they really want to trade out of 7 and if they position themselves for a QB it'll shake things up and maybe give them some more trade-back options (most likely this)

 I think he had 7 tackles in the SEC championship game as well.  Hill probably fits better because he’s more versatile but I’d rather have a killer like Cine

While all that is logical, this is the NFL. The Giants have a new coach and a new GM. They may want to set their own path.

 They’ll have a top 5 -6 pick next season and hopefully, no team wants to move up and give them a 1st rounder for next year because that’ll really screw up the QB’s in the 2023 draft.
