RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - Pat5775 - 04-29-2017
Oh damn on the clock!! Pick is in...
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - JumboTron - 04-29-2017
TE?
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - PikesPeakUC - 04-29-2017
Meh.
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - JumboTron - 04-29-2017
We have another CB from Houston
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - Pat5775 - 04-29-2017
Brandon Wilson. CB. Houston....
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - rezolve11 - 04-29-2017
Wouldn't be a draft without a CB.
Must've seen something if we traded up to get him. I don't know anything about him.
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - Pat5775 - 04-29-2017
Not really trying anymore, are we?
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - jj22 - 04-29-2017
He's been on their radar. Read up on their visit somewhere during draft lead up.

OVERVIEW
A three-way player for the Cougars, Wilson made an impact as a running back, cornerback, and kick returner. In fact, he was the only player in the nation in 2015 to score multiple touchdowns on offense (two rushing touchdowns), defense (interception return, fumble return, with 58 tackles, eight pass breakups, two forced fumbles), and special teams (two kickoff returns). Wilson started eight games at cornerback the previous year (33 tackles, one break-up) after playing on special teams as a redshirt freshman, making five tackles and returning a blocked field goal 78 yards for a score. He finished his UH career with a second-team All-American Athletic Conference season despite missing three games due to injury (43 tackles, one INT, five pass breakups, 5-52 receiving, 4-6 rushing, 512 kick return yards).
ANALYSIS
STRENGTHS Was the talk of the pro day running 4.36 with a vertical jump of 41 inches, broad jump of 11-feet-1 and 24 bench reps. Versatility could be a selling point. Could be targeted as cornerback, safety or running back. Limited reps as a runner, but looked good. Uses functional jump cut to avoid trouble. Tough runner who can power through angle tackles. Runs with good knee bend and stays behind his pads. Willing to sink and deliver a blow at the finish. Has controlled stride and foot quickness to string together cuts. Offers value as kick returner and in kick coverage. His 100-yard "kick-six" return for a touchdown created huge momentum shift in Houston's week one upset win over Oklahoma.
WEAKNESSES Hip tightness limited his ability to make plays on the ball as a cornerback and create average elusiveness in tight quarters as a running back. Will have to find a set position in the pros. As a running back, needs to improve his vision and decisiveness between the tackles. Needs to run with better patience and control. Balance was a little inconsistent in space. Used primarily on swing passes. Will need to expand route-running and prove he can protect to garner third down reps.

Probably never occurred to us to trade some of these picks this year for picks next year.

Meh. Every pick matters. We aren't just going to blindly pick. We traded up to get him. So they saw something.
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - wolfkaosaun - 04-29-2017
Saw Wilson coming sooner or later. Late 6th round pick so it was going to be meh anyway.

They drafted in trades.
1st & 3rd round pick trade for Brandin Cooks
4th round pick for Dwayne Allen (got a 6th back)
5th round pick for RFA Mike Gillispee
Dropped from the 5th to the 6th comp round for James O'Shaughnessy
And I think they lost a pick this year due to Deflategate (a 4th?)
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - jfkbengals - 04-29-2017
So I had to go out today because of construction on the house. Sign on and see Sunset is banned. What the hell happened that I mised?
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - PikesPeakUC - 04-29-2017
Is it sad that I'm more excited for Undrafted Free Agency as opposed to the 7th round? lol.
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - CJD - 04-29-2017
meh. depth at corner. Could have been a 4th round pick.
Really good work out numbers.

Love the pick. Runnning back that ran a 4.3 and jumps 41 inches. return specialist who is now a converted cb
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - PikesPeakUC - 04-29-2017
I feel bad for Brad Kaaya right now. He got some bad information, apparently.
RE: ***Official 2017 NFL Draft Day Thread*** - TheLeonardLeap - 04-29-2017
....what? Trade up for another RB? Either Hill is gone, or they really don't like how Gio's knee is healing.

He's going to be a corner in the pros. Probably special teamer.
