1. TYLER NUBIN, Minnesota (6-1, 205, 4.61, 2-3): High-school corner moved to safety once he reached the Twin Cities. “They played him (in the box) but if you watch him covering on special teams you know he can play in space,” one scout said. “He is a special-teams demon. Nubin gives you more than (Kamren) Kinchens because he could be that big nickel. He plays with a physical mindset. He’s better than Kinchens in natural tight end matchups in man coverage or as a general slot guy. He’s got great ball skills, too. For a guy you don’t see going backwards very often he’s always around the ball.” Ran an unexpectedly slow 40. “That hurt him,” a second scout said. “Instincts are his thing. He’s quick to trigger. Better in zone than man. Physical around the line of scrimmage. Little tight in his backpedal but uses his size well to play physical and doesn’t give up separation much. Struggles to open his hips and change direction, but nothing crazy. Can track (the deep ball). Looks to lay a hit. I think he should have come out last year but I still think he’s a pretty good football player. Yes, he’ll be a starter. I would say second round but he would have been a first-rounder last year.” Just 10 reps on the bench press. “He doesn’t have great range but he can do the interchangeable stuff,” a third scout said. “He’ll be a good teams player. He’s had production on the ball.” Started 43 of 55 games, finishing with 207 tackles (4 ½ for loss), 13 picks and 24 passes defensed. From St. Charles, Ill.
and one of the highest graded safeties in country.
Nubin possesses the athleticism, football IQ and talent as a run-stopper to be a versatile and impactful safety in any scheme. He would likely make the most plays in a system that consistently uses two-deep coverages, allowing him to play free, robber and box safety roles.
PROS
Quick, controlled backpedal
Good first-step explosiveness
Desire to make impactful hits on ball carriers/pass catchers
Impressive ability to flip his hips to run
Effective blitzer, even from deep alignments
Top-tier ball skills for a safety
Excellent eyes/anticipation for where the ball is going
CONS
Leads with the crown of his helmet too much
Lighter run defender
Can be overaggressive in pursuit angles

Physical, fundamentally sound, plays with more athleticism than his testing numbers would have you believe. Mark my words, this guy is gonna be a fan favorite.
a bad time for taking him... mainly because he took a QB in round one and didn't give that QB one of the last WRs in Ricky Pearsall. Total redemption for him... nice pick brother!
They again pick a guy in the second round who wasn't on my board. Stupid name, slow as hell and they won't resign him. Why bother. Has Mara all over it

WTF and are they 5 minutes late with there announcements? I look at BBI and the pick is listed. Sort of annoying.
Why be a jerk?
Good pick for the Giants and a need
Perhaps you missed the run of the top CBs ahead of them
Safety was a big need too.
Holy crap!! I got it right. Called it. LOL
Bowen uses three safety looks.
Nubin, Pinnock and Belton/Mills.

JFC...that is a brutal RAS.
Quote:
they won’t resign to a second contract.
Why be a jerk?
Good pick for the Giants and a need
Schoen doesn’t value safeties but takes one with a tip 50 pick?
Strictly for need
Vocal tone setter we haven't had since Rolle.
Pack it up boys, seasons over.
Don't be such a douche
So like 6 hall of famers incoming
“Welcome to New York” || Minnesota Safety Tyler Nubin Highlights ᴴᴰ - ( New Window )
I think you guys give Dane Belton to much credit. I will say I think Nubin starts over him. After losing Xavier we needed a safety.
Is this sarcasm ? Your board ? Who the f are you?
