I hope Sean sees Obi Melifonwu (bump Saints to meet with him)

6'4 220 Safety
40- 4.40
44 inch vert

he can be stationary at any time and have 25% of the width of the field covered.

I believe he is a safety.

Obi Kenobi.

In all fairness CSP talent evaluations have been way off the last 5 years..

Like getting fired off

Giant safeties make me nervous. You see guys like this and you gotta think "what's the catch?"

Kam Chancellor is the only guy that size I can think of off the top of my head playing safety

Weaknesses

Leggy and gets feet bundled up when asked to turn and sprint. Lacks desired instincts and will play with slow eyes at times. Has to see ball in the air before charging over to help on deep throws. Inconsistent with coverage responsibilities from high safety. Takes time to diagnose play-action. Rub routes found him near goal line. Can take inefficient paths to the ball that get him there a step too late. Would benefit from high-pointing rather than waiting on throws. Sources Tell Us "He's a freak. He's going to blow away the combine. He's fast and will post some of the best vertical and broad numbers at his position. He's going to get a lot better in the pros and he has that elite size that will get him overdrafted." -- AFC Pro Personnel Director

NFL Comparison George Iloka

Bottom Line Big and athletic, he may lack the coverage qualities and instincts needed to work as a "last line of defense" player in a pass-happy division. Melifonwu is an effective downhill tackler who has the ability to match up against tight ends and make a living near the line of scrimmage. His football instincts aren't up to par, but the size and traits will be extremely enticing for teams who covet traits first.

He's a small LB that played safety. Do not want. We need a guy who can cover.

Taylor Mays comes to mind

6'3" 230 lb, 4.4 40, 41" vert, 125 broad, 24 reps 225
