Of the remaining teams, it's quite possible that we specifically need DeJean more than the other teams do; that they need a pure corner more than we need a top safety prospect. I honestly am starting to think that at 25, we'll need to choose between DeJean and trading back. I vote "DeJean".

Quinton Mitchell

Overview
Mitchell possesses a gumbo of traits, with size, strength and speed filling up the pot. He’s built like a running back, tackles like a safety and has the ball skills of a cornerback. Mitchell can play in a variety of coverages and was the clear-cut top cornerback at the Senior Bowl when working against the top receivers in practice. While he needs to trace a more efficient path when hounding the route, his burst to close and physicality at the catch point could create tougher throwing windows for quarterbacks. Mitchell’s traits, play demeanor and special-teams potential should make him attractive to teams in the market for CB help.

Strengths
Well-built with broad shoulders and natural physicality.
Feet are fairly nimble and agile to change direction with routes.
Postures up into pass-catcher’s frame and claws at catch point with success.
Outstanding burst to close for quick recovery and playmaking.
Sees what he tackles in run support and wraps the legs.
Tackling and speed to become a top-notch gunner on punt teams.

Weaknesses
Can get in trouble by declaring his hips too soon.
Still learning to maintain feel for routes in man coverage.
Eye balance between quarterback and route is inconsistent.
Average route anticipation can get him behind at the break point.
Will get caught behind bigger downfield targets, from a positioning standpoint.

Brian Thomas actually able to catch a ball? His eyes do not point in the same direction.

[Frozen Tundra]

No.

How often do you have the chance to pick the 2nd/3rd CB at pick 25? We still have 4 more picks in the next 2 rounds.

Yeah; at this point, there'sno questipon about whether value would be there. It will. Only question will be, does Gute want to roll the dice? His board does not look like any of our boards, and he's a bit smarter than any of us.

[King Friday]

Longest for a DB to come off the board since the early 90s.
