Just awful coverage of this by ESPN and NFL Network. Really, no coverage of this pick at all. So I went to CBS draft tracker and pulled up highlight scout film on Youtube. Newton has weaknesses which you would expect at pick 5. Not a good tackler. Not that fast. His upside is quick feet, good hip movement, and great at press coverage. ...Highlight film says he could be a Day 2 or Day 3 pick and this guy could be an NFL starter at Nickle. OK, Zac plays 5 DB's 70 % to 80 % of the time. So there it is. A tall physical CB good in press coverage with quick feet that could develop into a good Nickle Back in NFL. Needs coached up on Tackling and other areas of his game. ....Nothing about Special Teams, so not a late round kick returner, no info that he can do that....A possible Nickle Back.
