I'm honestly stunned that this guy is available. When I picked Blount for the Pats, I was a little bit reticent, because I thought this guy could help, but he wouldn't make the immediate impact that the Pats need. However, this player is great value in a position of need for a rebuilding team. He was considered a 2nd round/fringe 1st at the beginning of the year, but missed almost all of the season due to a wrist injury.
When on the field, he's been an excellent playmaker. He had over 100 tackles his sophomore year along with 18 deflections and 5 picks. Those are simply astounding numbers. He has a little bit of a thin frame, but I think that this guy could easily blossom into a very good #2 corner who can also defend slot receivers.
The St. Louis Rams select Walter Thurmond III, CB, Oregon
