#52 - Brandon Cisse - CB - Clemson

[Joemailman]

This kid has the best chance in this class to be all pro, depending on coaching. I think he has the right path and his head on right to do that. He's ONLY 20 (one of the fifth youngest in the whole draft), played WR in HS, is more mature than any cb on our team, is getting props and tutelage from HoFers, has athleticism to do it. I wasn't big on cb in round 2, but I definitely see why they took him. He has hardly begun and is doing everything right to be a great one. .... Not gonna pretend I can grade corners, but his highlights show me he has enough traits. (And Richard Sherman gave him excellent advice on how to get interceptions, if the coaches let him.)

2/3 of the game is mind and heart. I think he has it. Edit: See GB scout Mike Owen "WIRED RIGHT" is the most important thing. I haven't been stoked about a cb since Jaire. I hope they throw him in the fire right away so he can get the reps.

Oh I think he'll get every opportunity early to show what he can do. Packers wanted to demote Valentine last year, but Hobbs didn't work out.

The thing I like about Cisse is the way he plays the run. Not that that's more important than pass coverage, but it says something about attitude. His tackling ability alone puts him ahead of Valentine.

So you're saying he's not a . . . Cisse?

Agreed. Guys who make business decisions don't have great careers. I rail on Jaire (with good reason) but early on he was a willing tackler. After he jacked up his shoulder because he was a small willing tackler he became an unwilling "I got paid" football player in general. Maybe his knee was jacked, maybe not. I just think he didn't enjoy hitting or being hit.

We should have a contest. Maybe I'll make a thread. First player from this draft to make a pro bowl.

He made me think "safety" the way he attacks the run.

I watched a couple highlights, and the way he attacks the run, I don't think he's thinking about his safety at all.
