Thoughts on Deion Harris out of North Dakota. He was being talked about as a 1st round pick a couple years ago prior to blowing out his knee and has been playing very well this year so far.

I think his instincts and ability to recognize routes are what really stands out the most. Although I do worry about his inability to find the football with his back turned at the next level. I think his best fit is to a team that likes to play a lot of off man coverages.
I wouldn't necessarily consider him locked in at #1 for me personally. I really like the Oruwariye kid. Nice bump and run - press corner.
I know Baker gets a lot of credit for shutting down Emanuel Hall when UGA played Missouri, but I feel it's a little bit of a false narrative.
Emanuel Hall's hamstring shut Emanuel Hall down. He wasn't even supposed to be playing. He shouldn't have been out there. He had been nursing it since the Wyoming game, but they needed him as a decoy. That's all he was vs. Georgia. He couldn't even hardly run.
I'd love to see that matchup with both players healthy.
Just got to Oruwariye the other day, and I def see why you like him. Positions his body really well, great length and ball skills, physical. Seeing that he's projected in the high 4.5's, which might keep him out of the 1st but wouldn't preclude him from being an outstanding pro - quickness and agility look solid. Because of his length, strength, and body positioning, I was reminded of Richard Sherman on a few plays - the INT against Pitt especially. I wouldn't rule him out of the 1st, but he'll probably have to run in the low 4.5's for teams to like him that early. I think Boyd is a better athlete and also very good, but I like Oruwariye's patience and ability to find the ball better.
Decent chance one of them or Baker falls to the mid-2nd, and if your a team that is willing to be flexible, I'd love that value.
Slimm, you check out Rock Ya-Sin yet? He's been playing well, and his name is one for the ages.
Yeah I've seen him making plays when I'm taking notes of other guys for Temple. I've taken particular notice when he's matched up on WR's that are on my board (Anthony Johnson, Justin Hobbs, Trevon Brown, etc.) and he's done a really good job. He's just another one of these long press corners, but one thing he does really well that some others don't always do - is turn around and locate the football with his back to the ball.
I do wonder how well he runs, but what stands out to me is how loose he appears to be in his hips and how smooth he can transition from backpedal to turn and run and get in phase with the receiver. It's pretty impressive. And he's demonstrated really good ball skills.
What I want to do first though is go back and look at some of his games while he was at Presbyterian playing against FBS competition. What's your read on him?
You summed it up well tbh. Fluid athlete, good ball skills, physical with good overall activity. Read from Brugler that at one point he hoped to become an Olympic wrestler - pretty cool for a CB. Agree that he doesn't look very fast, though. Day 3 is my guess, but I think he's a guy that could develop into a solid starter.
Most Underrated: Rock Ya-Sin, Brian Peavey, Isaiah Johnson, Juan Thornhill, Ugo Amadi.
Most Overrated: N/A.
I'm glad to see this because I've been meaning to ask you about him.
He looks just absolutely wonderful, to me.
Give me 11 guys that play like he plays. Damn.
