Great pick by the Buffalo Bills front office. If the Bills took Devin Thomas I would have launched my tv and laptop through a window. He is still on the board at 23 and there is no wide receiver going any time soon. A cornerback bolsters a defense that has a weakness in the backfield. True a cornerback isn't a necesity in the Tampa 2 defense, but he is a better selection at eleven than Thomas.
Here is a story about him I did two days ago.
| Height: 5-101/4 | Weight: 190 | 40-Time: 4.38 | |
 Official Bio  | Strengths: Very athletic...Has good size...Excellent timed speed with a burst to close...A solid tackler...Outstanding footwork...Great hands...Has fluid hips and is smooth in his transition...Natural man coverage skills...True playmaker who is a threat to take it the distance every time he gets his hands on the ball...Also a dynamic return man. Weaknesses: Relatively marginal instincts and anticipation...He doesn't have a lot of experience bumping at the line...Could do a better job in zone coverage...Too aggressive and plays a little out of control at times...Did not always play against elite competition. Notes: Hails from the same college program that produced Osi Umenyiora and DeMarcus Ware...For his career he averaged 13.1 yards per punt return with 7 touchdowns and 23.7 yard per kick return with one touchdown...Named to several All-American teams after averaging 17.4 yards and with 3 TD's as a punt returner in '07...Draft stock soared as a senior and quietly emerged as one of the best prospects at his position..Has starting potential as a corner and should be a top-notch return man. |
