I'm surprised no one has jumped on the Terrance Brooks bandwagon yet. Its a lonely place at the moment. However, looking at Emery's small sampling of drafts and where I believe the D is moving schematically, I think there's a strong positibility of hearing his name called when our pick is up. Hopefully that happens in the 2nd but Phil has 'reached' for his guy in the past.
As for why I think he's an Emery pick, it should be obvious to anyone who's done some homework on him. First off, anf seemingly first on Emery's checklist, is the ideal athletic ability he brings to the free safety position. It seems lile we are trying to differentiate our safeties to alleviate some of the match up problems modern NFL offenses are presenting. He played nickel corner prior to his move to safety and it shows in his fluidity and coverage skills. Don't let his background at corner fool you though, he has the physicality needed to be a presence in the back end and can come up and be effective in run support. He can be a little inconsistent at times in his fo but seems to readily understand when to bring the wood and when to wrap up on a ball carrier. Overall I see him as the total package at FS and is the only player I would put in that category. He could be very very good if unutilized correctly and further developed at safety.
