Yeah I was good with the height and weight I just meant he was a tiny bit smaller than Culliver who is good size. Might have come off as he wasn't big or tall enough. While I got you if you see this what are your thoughts on Chris Davis? Does the 0 INTs scare you away or is he someone you would consider in say the 4th round as a 2nd CB in our draft? Thanks in advance.

I think he's pretty underrated, could be a nice long-term prospect to develop, similar to Brock but with more upside. He does have to improve in terms of his open field tackling, he gets criticized a lot for taking bad angles and not wrapping up properly, he has potential especially as a slot corner.

Just for perspective, the average arm length for the 59 DBs at the combine this year was 31.37 inches according to my calculations. (I did it twice & got 31.34 & 31.37).

to me, this draft just has much better prospects in the 2nd round. At positions of need too, like WR, C, S

I doubt it. I see him as an early to mid 3rd rounder.

Interesting prospect. Only thing I question is his timed speed. The corners Baalke has chosen in the past have all been 4.4 speed guys. Breeland was timed at 4.62 at the combine, and 4.57 at his pro day.

Here is CBS Draft Scout's take on him. This write up reminds me a little bit of Carlos Rogers:

He is a good-sized athlete who uses his length and aggressive nature well in coverage to blanket and get his hands on the ball, but he tends to be too physical at times and will draw penalties. Breeland, who has a soon-to-be one year old daughter, played mostly off-man in college with good anticipation and eye use to break on the ball, but he lacks elite speed or quick-twitch movements and found himself in trouble when biting on fakes or hesitating for a moment. He is a willing run defender, but needs to be more reliable in this area and do a better job finishing tackles. Breeland needs technique work and time to develop, but his raw cover skills and size project him as an eventual starter.

^From what I was reading he has "Good" speed and can keep up with most Wrs but has VERY "average" acceleration

Hmm..not sure how I feel about that. I think I'd rather have a guy with good acceleration, and average speed.

Explosive, quick-twitch movements is more important to me than track speed. If Breeland is that kind of athlete despite his slow 40, I'd be ok drafting him.
