Welcome JT Woods, DB, Baylor (R3, #79)

[Topcat]

My first thought was he was going to be converted to CB with his ridiculous speed.

Yep...one of my thoughts also...I think they use Woods, with his 6-2 length, to cover TE's...with his 4.37 speed, to play outside corner, and with his range, to play split deep safety with Nas...I think Woods is the kind of flexible player Staley wants for different packages...

[Bolt Dude]

Woods definitely isn’t getting burned deep over the top when we bracket long-speed receivers.

I don’t think this pick is a commentary on Webb. They’re different types of safeties.

I think Staley likes his safeties in all shapes and sizes, like a basketball team.

Too bad we didn't get Jelani Woods as our "Woods".

Over drafted bust

Ah so just a comp based on hurt feelings.

In some packages, I'm guessing Jackson is #1 CB, Woods is #2 CB and Vato is #3...

Why no ASJ?

Most of those turnovers were bad passes that happened to go to Woods. There were a couple of good plays in there, but on most of them, any decent safety makes the same turnover. On the positive side, he is very fast, so if he gets out in front on a turnover, it is over.

To be fair, you can say the same thing about most of JC Jackson’s turnovers as well.

Jesus I hope not, this pick should push Vato to the bench, keep ASJ on the field at all costs.

I don’t think we were ever going to go OL again in the 3rd after the Zion pick. It was going to be a defensive pick.

But we still have a huge need at RT.

Unless you scouted this guy yourself before today with at least 15 minutes of game film, calling him a bust because of something you read on Bleacher Report is a bit hasty.

This guy has NFL traits, unlike Craig Mager. Watch some flm, sleep on it, watch some more.
