Thoughts on drafting David Amerson?

I really like this kid, 6'1 and good speed. He had a down year last season but had an impressive season before that. Also could be an option at Safety. I think I've seen him projected in the 3rd round.

Strengths Possesses size, physicality and athleticism to be a starting NFL defensive back. Very confident, attacks aggressively down hill, both in jumping routes, and in defending the run. Receiver-like ball skills allow him to high-point passes on jump balls and make quarterbacks pay for trying to fit a ball between levels of zone coverage. Also adjusts well to low and wide throws despite his size. Flashes agility. Will pop receivers to dislodge the ball and running backs coming to his side of the field. Wrap-up tackler, closes quickly to the ball when attacking receivers in off-coverage and against east-west runs. Works through receiver blocks in the run game with strong hands and quickness.

Weaknesses Some teams will project him to safety unless he proves hip flexibility, agility, and speed in workouts. Backpedal will be tested by quicker receivers eating up his cushion at the next level. Takes time to transition forward from pedal, comes out of his breaks a bit slow. Can be deceived by double moves. Doesn't display run assignment integrity. Plays a lot of off-coverage and zone, needs experience in the man and press coverages in which he should excel given his physical ability.

As a Clemson fan I've watched him play numerous times never been overly impressed.
I will say, however, that he has never had much help, if any, from a safety presence or in the pass rush department.
If we were to take him it'd need to be in the later rounds (no clue where he's protected) and for a future at safety. He is much more comfortable in zone coverage and would get exposed if Ryan asked him to primarily press and cover man-to-man.

Bray just destroyed him in the opener this year. I dunno, hes definitely talented but I wouldnt be too horny for him unless he fell pretty far. Would be a decent pick in the 3rd.

looks like 3rd Rd range for value. Read several scouting reports that each said not a good fit for a man coverage team and would be a better zone coverage fit.
