I don't understand why he has been hyped as a first rounder



Same here. I kept expecting to see his stock drop but it never did and it just left me saying "wtf"... He does have the size + speed combo that the NFL covets now a days. But still, he never played like a guy that should go in the 1st or even top half of the 2nd round.

We say it every year. The "experts" don't know shite and have hidden agendas. They're doing favors for agents and teams they're cozy with, or they're saying things to generate a buzz or discussion. Remember when Mel Kiper was throwing a shitfit because Clausen wasn't drafted in the first round and we found out that they had the same agent?

Only because as a fan base we know better. How many threads were begging for this guy last year?

Agreed. He isn't aggressive enough even with his size for a corner. He doesn't put enough effort into his jams at the line of scrimmage. He's gotten away with it in college some because of his athletic ability but that won't be the case in the NFL. He has to become more technically sound.
