19 picks at FS for Boise so he has a serious nose for the football
However he needs some serious coaching because he takes lots of chances and sometimes gets faked out by a QB, letting receivers behind him in center field.
But they also said he has great ball skills and a nose for the ball. Sounds like a real ball-hawking FS (which we need), but needs to be more physical. He's big too. I like it for a 3rd rounder.
Wonder if they could have gotten KJ Dillon or another safety in round 4. Hard to believe they have not taken a lineman on either side of the ball yet. I hope they can swing a deal for A. Davis.
if the picks were the right picks, but I can't complain about the positions they have taken so far. Still need a DE, OT, and then maybe interior OL or DL.
Secondary is a lot better after this draft. There is a lot of competition in a very young back end now.
The question now is re: offensive line. Will any move be made?
He ran in the 4.5s in his Pro Day. He's not slow.
A little panicky but I think they had him a little higher than most and saw the run on defensive backs coming

Speed is also an issue
4.69 40 time
All that matters to me
I think he's better than all three but I was never high on any of them. I could see Thompson winning the job out of the gate.
Was it his shirt or shorts?
Meh.

4.61 there.
Meh.
They killed him
I think he's a nice centerfielder yet drafted for need
The #Giants select at No. 71, #BoiseSt S Darian Thompson. An old-school hitter, this is a mentality pick. Physical.

Guessing that's a misprint.
Because Jints Central didn't watch any of the games last year.
+1
Kelvin benjamin said he went Slower so he would fall in the draft to the Panthers.
This guy looks like the real deal.
And Broke a Record set by Eric Weddle. Watch out
