"17.BENGALS: S Nick Emmanwori, South Carolina; Geoff Hobson, Bengals.com"

He was Hobson's latest pick. In the media mock. 
 
I've been a fan of Emmanwori since draft season started. His ceiling is best safety in the league. His floor is Taylor Mays   

He has all the talent in the world. It's all about what's between the ears though. If he is a smart, hungry, motivated, team player I think he would be a major asset. 

I like Emmanwori and think that he would be a good fit and settle in fairly quickly. Sure, there are a few things about his decision making that need tweaked, but if you look hard enough, you can find at least one thing about even the top 5 players' games that could use a little improvement. The nice thing is that Emmanwori's "warts" seem to be coachable items, his assets like his size, speed and athleticism are things that just cannot be improved simply by coaching.

Edit: However, since Hobson listed him as his pick? You know that means the Colts, Falcon's or Cardinals will likely take him.
