Nick Emmanwori, Safety University of South Carolina.
Yeah, I know we need IOL; Yeah, I know that the defense could use help on the pass rush. But what this defense could benefit the most from immediately upon arrival is a lightning bolt that can both cover and tackle well. Nick Emmanwori adds a big body with blazing speed, touts the highest coverage grade and the lowest missed tackle rate (7.2%) by a lot, among all the top Safety prospects. He can play nearly as well in the box, but covers massive amounts of ground in a short period of time in deep coverage, and does a fine job of high-pointing the ball when he gets there. You want a day 1 starter who'll make an impact in year one? Nick Emmanwori is that guy.
If he's on the board at #17 and Duke doesn't break into a full sprint toward the podium, then something is more wrong than I ever thought with this franchise.

Volson is meh, but I like him, and he has far exceeded my expectations
