From Matt Miller:
OVERALL
Jessie Bates is one of the better true coverage safeties in the 2018 draft class. He identifies routes well and is athletic enough to get into position to make a play on the ball or limit targets. A team needing an over-the-top safety early in Round 2 should be all over Bates.
GRADE: 6.75 (Early Round 2)
PRO COMPARISON: Reggie Nelson, Oakland Raiders
