I would have to pass.
There were talks of him even pushing into the early 2nd or even potentially late 1st round...until the draft prep hit.
Kendrick had arguably one of the worst Combine/ProDay performances ever for a CB:
40 - 4.79
Vert - 31"
Broad - 9'6"
When he appeared for his Pro Day, he came in heavier than the Combine - 11 lbs actually. Went from 194 to 205(!!)
He's been falling down draft boards like crazy from the Senior Bowl until now due to these terrible workout performances.
With all that said, he was good on the field at both Clemson and Georgia.
Does his tape and college production give enough confidence that he's better than his pre-draft prep indicates?
Is Kendrick worth taking a Day 3 flier on?
Could he maybe succeed if shifted to safety?
