Draft Party (live draft thread)

not crazy about this pick. Feels like a reach.

Coby Bryant, 14th best CB according to ESpN.

Does this qualify as a John Schneider "smart guy" pick?

lotta mocks had him in 3rd round area, so this is good value. got a lot of action because teams didnt want to throw at Sauce on the other side, and held up very well. i didnt realize he was as tall as he was or i would have included him in my wish list along with Woolen, McCollum et al. in general i think we are killing this draft!

He was the 12th CB taken so i guess it was a conventional-type pick. I don't know that they're killing it more than just making the kind of obvious picks we have all been clamoring for given John's recent success rate when he tries to be smart and unconventional.

what mocks? Everywhere I saw had him in the 6th round. Kid might be good, but I think he could've been had later.

Sounds like they should have traded back. Hopefully he isn't so slow that he has to line up 10 yards deep on 3rd and short.

Ravens with five 4th round picks. WTF?

The Seahawks selected Coby Bryant with the 109th overall pick, a playmaking cornerback from Cincinnati who last year won the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation's top defensive back.

Playing opposite fellow Cincy corner Ahmad "Sauce" Gardner, who was the No. 4 overall pick on Thursday, Bryant was tested often and came through, recording a team-high 11 pass breakups to go along with 45 tackles, three interceptions, one of which he returned for a touchdown, and three forced fumbles.

In addition to winning the Thorpe Award, Bryant was also named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press and earned first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors for the second straight year.

Bryant, who was named after the late NBA star Kobe Bryant, changed his number from 7 to 8 for last year's College Football Playoff appearance to honor his namesake's legacy.

Apparently the Jim Thorpe award is about as meaningful as the Nobel.

I don't know he had 6 takeaways last season which is prob more than our entire defense combined.

this is what happens when you have a shut down guy on the other side - everybody throws at you, and you're going against their #2 guy. This is precisely the problem with our CBs - there is no #1 guy to take away the other team's #1 WR. We now have 5 guys that are all not quite as good as the guy they're covering, unless Tre Brown makes a step up.
