GBN Mock Draft

[Partial]

VT is one of the best defenses in the country. Beamer has put out boatloads of solid corners over the years, and Flowers was one of their stars.

I think Chevis Jackson is a gifted CB who could drop into the late 2nd or even late 3rd range. He's not as fast as you like them - 4.58 40 yd dash but he's a really, really good player.

Senior Bowl Monday South Team Practice: Chevis Jackson, CB, LSU: Strongest CB on the field. Will be a fine press corner, showing strength and an ability to close quickly. Made plays on multiple throws today.

Senior Bowl Tuesday South Team Practice: Even with a strong showing from the South's wide receivers, several cornerbacks helped their stock Tuesday with good performances. The most consistent cornerback on the roster today was LSU's Chevis Jackson. Even passes were caught by his assignment, Jackson was in good position to make the play.


His 21 passes defensed (16 break-ups, 5 interceptions) was the third-highest season total in school history…Gained 52 yards on his five interception returns…Had 82 passes targeted into his area, as the opposition caught just 21 balls for 230 yards (10.95 yards per completion/2.8 yards per attempt) and three touchdowns, as opposing quarterbacks completed just 25.61% of those tosses


He shut down his side of the field as well as any player in college football. He was the most consistant CB at the senior bowl. He's explosive and has great change of direction. He ran a lack luster 40 yard dash but he plays fast on the field.

3 year starter at big time school. All SEC 1st team. He's a player. He'll slip because of speed, but I think he can play.

He is a definite fit for our system...and would be a tremendous pickup in the 2nd round.

I had been simply skipping over Flowers due to his height. Going back and reading up on him, he could be a great fit. Tough, instinctive, physical, in your face cover CB. I might like him better than Cason, who some think is a better fit for a team that plays a lot of zone.

Flowers will probably fall because of his size, but imo he is a good player. VT has put out several good corners and I think Flowers in the most physical of them, but the least physically gifted. Anyone know how Jimmy Williams is doing? He was a good prospect out of VT who I've heard nothing of.

Williams was switched to Safety last year, and played in 9 games, starting just 2. Don't know if injuries were involved. I do know he tested positive for marijuana in June 2007.

i just have nightmares of tall WR's grabbing balls without even jumping over guys like t-buck and carroll

i also don't want flowers because it seems like beamer has a nice little head case factory going on down there at Va Tech

I thought that Antonio Freeman guy was pretty good when the Pack drafted him from there.
