He has versatility to play CB as well.
The Bengals like him, but they don't feel as though it is wise to spend an early pick on a player that would likely not be active on game day since they typically carry more CBs, and they like Fej as their backup that can play either safety spot and his special teams.
I looked at Thornhill as the guy I wanted to eventually replace Williams. He is more of a SS to me anyways.
I loved him, and would love to see him here but I guess it won't be happening unless he had a crazy slide.
Yeah, I thought it was a crazy pick until air started researching and apparently a lot of the draft guys who look deeper have him in the top 25/30 in their Big Boards. I just think he would be versatile and will hit. He would be our second fastest DB day one.
And I know people are whining about makings Williams a linebacker so let’s call him a hybrid safety instead since that’s more of what the position entails. Plus they could still draft Cashmen and Burr Kirven.
I just think people need to be prepared if they don't draft a Devin in the first and really want to take BPA.
