Cornelius Washington or Ryan Swope or Jordan Poyer>>are decent but he went with :

FS Micah Hyde, Iowa 6'-0" 197 lbs

No too >>> Zeke Motta SS 6'2" 213 lbs From Notre Dame

No too >>> Tony Jefferson FS 5' - 11 " 213 lbs From Oklahoma

Hyde is your classic tweener. He has the ability to cover but does not have the speed to really be an elite cornerback and it shows up on tape. His 2011 tape is much better than his 2012 in my opinion and I believe that has more to do with how Iowa used him during his senior year. He uses his hands well and loves to jam. He can play off in zone or at the LOS in press. His height and length allow for him to make plays on the ball but I would not claim he is a ballhawk in anyway. Hyde wraps up on tackle frequently but he is also a Sheldon Brown-esque hitter at the cornerback position. He is in on a majority of plays, both long range and in the box.

While he does use contact to his advantage, Hyde will have to adjust his form in the NFL. Too many times during games, he relied on sneaky holds that got by on college referees but will likely be called at the next level (just ask DRC). Hyde is big for a cornerback but tends to rely too much on his ability to hit and ignores using patience to wrap up opposing wide receivers. He does tend to get abused by speedy wide receivers in coverage and is likely a slot cornerback at the next level. I do believe he will be very good at covering tight ends. I do worry about his ability to make mental errors, but as I have stated before it is hard to know what coverage responsibilities he had.

Overall, I think Hyde would be a solid addition as a dime or nickel cornerback. Much like Purdue's Josh Johnson, he has a great background in special teams and is the type of hitter Eagles fans crave. He could carve out a role as a backup free safety if he adds a bit more weight (probably around 10 pounds, which will be easy). His tweener status may hurt him in the draft.

Corner from iowa taken by the pack.

Looks like a safety to me. Mayock says reminds of Grover. Mayock likes ball skills.

There were a ton of good defensive players that TT spit on for the purpose of acquiring more 6th and 7th round picks.

No excuse for what TT has done these 3 days... I'm beginning to think that McKenzie, Dorsey, and Schneider were the voices of reason in TT's ear, and with those guys gone, TT is running up and down the halls with a bubble blaster.

Even if these guys make the roster, and eventually progress to having a role on the team - that's 2-3 years down the line... while this year, all TT is doing is pushing his previous crop of ne'er-do-wells off the roster.

So while TT is drafting guys today, in hopes that they will contribute in 3 years; SF, Minn, Sea, et al are reloading their guns and leaving us for dead.

I'm sure glad you know exactly how all of these players are going to turn out. It saves me a lot of time.

red sorry man.

It's a freakin' mess.

Ted needs a loooooong vacation.

If anyone on this board is ever going to claim that TT always goes BPA.I'll flat out inform that poster that he's/she's full of it.

This draft definitely disproves that long term BS.

I can hear it now.TT's board. TT's grading.

Sure.

RYAN SWOPE---Texas A&M WR.......I am game

I fear a QB is coming

[rbaloha1]

Hyde is an aggressive run defender.

Maybe can spy on a qb or chase the pitchman.
