He covers better than everbody in that secondary right now! Never seen him bust coverage and always was aware of the play action and double moves. He just gave up a couple pass catches in a couple games geez. I just don't get the can't cover label.

TM didn't get beat as much as people would like you to believe. It stands out because of the Ten-a-key game and against Bama.

The dude's turnover ability is sick and that would get him drafted alone.

I'd say fourth round and no later than fifth.

I never said he "can't cover" did I? I simply said he wasn't that great of a cover corner. He isn't. Not at his time at LSU. He was good Nickel and was good at forcing turnovers. But lining up in man coverage he was not THAT GREAT. Janoris Jenkins seems to be everyones comparison here and he wasn't close as far as covering a receiver.

And no. If you take turnovers and punt returns completely out of the equation, Jalen Mills is as good of raw cover corner as Tyrann Mathieu was. By the time Jalen Mills leaves LSU, the comparison of coverage skills won't even be close.
