Does anyone have any thoughts on why Chauncey Gard-Johnson fell so far?

First off... im not mad that he did fall to the 4th round, but this dude had a 2nd round draft grade and was a top 5-6 safety for most “experts.”

It’s one thing if he fell to the 3rd round, but ESPN had him at 52 overall and he fell at the #99 pick. (Nb4 anyone says frick what espn has to say).

Im just looking for others insight on why he fell and what your thoughts are on him? He looks like a good compliment to Vonn Bell this year as a backup.

I watched both ESPN and the NFL network draft coverage so I don't remember who said this, but one of them said that he had a bad week at some post-season bowl

He has short arms because he is a Gator.

okay that would make some sense. His highlights are solid and he has a good frame with speed for his size. I guess we’ll see.

I read interview/personality type stuff. A little too high on himself. We have the culture built to reel that in IMO.

Should fit in well as slot corner/nickel/box safety.

Eddie Jackson was another safety who inexplicably fell to the 4th.

That actually was one of the knocks on him.

It was mentioned character stuff on TV but no idea what issues he had. As someone else alluded to it just being his personality in interviews

I heard that he interviewed badly, but after watching him for for 3 years I love the pick for the Saints. Especially since he came from DBU

no.


Edit: louisiana gator is baiting me like a cuck.

LSU has more 1st round draft pick DBs in the last 10 years than Florida. We also have more 1st and 2nd round picks than Florida.

Derek Stingley and Elias Ricks are gonna make life hard for a Gator in the next few years. Sorry man, it sucks to be 2nd best.
