Thank God, Huff is drafted by Oakland and not a NFC North team; Huff is the Randy Moss of defense, and now Pack wont have to worry about him. Still, that is not an excuse for why THompson should bypassed him.

Donte Whitner
S, Ohio State
War Room analysis
Strengths: Is a tough, explosive defender all over the field. Excels in the box; can blitz off the corner and get to the quarterback. Is aggressive vs. the run; understands blocking schemes and closes quickly to the ball carrier. Can make plays in the open field; is a sure tackler. Is versatile vs. the pass; can play on the perimeter in man-to-man coverage. Can jam and redirect receivers at the line. Has excellent hands and ball skills. Plays with a high motor. Could contribute right away on special teams.
Weaknesses: Played strong safety in college but is a bit small and projects better as a free safety in the NFL. Started only one year in college. Lacks great recognition skills and is slow to react to play fakes. Must improve overall strength to be a run stopper in the NFL. Get pushed around at times. A knee injury in 2004 raises some durability concerns.
Bottom line: Whitner is the most versatile secondary prospect and can play all the positions in the defensive backfield. His ability to play man-to-man coverage will make him valuable right away in nickel and dime packages. His limited starting experience is a concern, but his talent is unquestioned and should warrant a second-round selection.
Dan Pompei analysis
Is an in-the-box safety who knows how to hit. Is a junior who plays hard. Shows good straight-line speed to close on the ball. Rarely gets caught out of position. Reads plays well, and gets a good jump. Is not great in coverage; lacks ideal quickness and change-of-direction skills. Shows good intangibles. Is a bit small.
No. 3 on Pompei's safety rankingsComment
