Tell me if he's getting his ass kicked here against UCLA:

My honest view of both players:
McGill - Good enough speed to run with most receivers on deep routes, uses his length well in pass defense. Lacks elite quickness to be a true shut down corner as he will struggle against quicker players on double moves or outs in a man coverage scheme. Against the run game, McGill does not display the effort or tenacity to fight through blocks and is often easily blocked out of a play by much smaller receivers; it's not unusual to see a much smaller player lock onto McGill and take him out of the play. He is definitely better in off coverage and has poor press technique, which is the reason why most teams see him as a FS. I see him as a better fit there as well, just from watching his style of play. The other problem I have with him is that he isn't really tough and has medical red flags; I would expect that of a smaller player, not someone who is 6'3" and 216 pounds. I wouldn't spend anything earlier than a 4th on McGill because of these factors.
SJB - Good quickness and fluidity for his size, good ball skills, much more physical than McGill, and has a strong punch in press coverage. His issue is that if a WR has decent speed and gets a step on him, it's over; SJB lacks the recovery speed to get back into the play. He reminds me a lot of Sean Smith and I'd rather have someone who has more speed to their game than our current starters do.
I'd prefer Jason Verrett over both of them.
