Tyvon Branch, CB, UConn

[Hibachi]

The Dolphins have been showing a lot of interest in him and I am really excited about the possibility of drafting him.

Here is an excerpt from NFL.com after his pro-day where he ran a 4.31

DB Tyvon Branch (5-11 7/8, 208): Had a 38-inch vertical jump, ran position drills and kept all his other times from the combine. Since 2004, only five defensive backs have weighed 200-plus pounds and run under 4.40 in the 40. Three were drafted in the first round and the other two were taken within the first three rounds. Four of the five are NFL starters (Bob Sanders, LaRon Landry, Michael Huff and DeAngelo Hall).

I think he'd be a nice pick at 2B or 3 if he is still there since his stock has been improving considerably. Branch is a big, physical, speedy corner with great size that gives him the ability to switch between CB and FS, where he has some experience. As a bonus, Branch also returned kick-offs and punts in college.

I believe Jason Allen is the fifth defensive back to achieve this when he ran a 4.39 at the combine in 2006. All five were starters at the end of the 2007 season.

Branch also averaged nearly 29 yards per kickoff return last season at UCon.

Tyvon Branch opened some eyes with his 4.31. There's a chance he could sneak ahead of some of the guys who ran slowly like Chevis Jackson.
