Kameron Kelly is a pretty good player. He has value because he can play both CB and S. He does both pretty well. He plays the ball well and tackles well too when he needs to do that. It would not surprise me to see him have some success in the NFL.
What did he run?
6'2" 200 lbs. 4.66 official combine time. IMO he plays a little faster than that. He knows the angles and sees stuff happen before it happens. I am a little surprised to see him run that. I would have guessed 4.55 or something from watching him play. While that probably doesn't make him fast enough for CB I do believe S is an option for him somewhere later in the draft. His 6'2" 200 lbs. would allow him to play S. He hits pretty hard and tackles pretty well. He has good ball skills and plays the ball well. He is more instinctive and knows the angles better than you would think. Because of his instincts, seeing the play before it happens and taking the right angles the speed is not as much of a factor for him as it would seem.
I would not want him out on the edge as a CB. But at S where he can take angles I think he can find a home somewhere on some team. He has pretty good ball skills. He plays the ball well. His best work no doubt was at S. Based on his speed also that would be his best bet. There are 4.6 guys at S in the NFL for sure. There have been some 4.7 guys with success at that position. The type of guys who have success like that are ultra instinctive, see the play develop, and take the right angles.
I think he can get a look in the later rounds. He is more instinctive than the measured time would suggest. No doubt I did see him get burned deep sometimes at CB. So that would make more sense now given his combine speed. Deep long speed is not his best element. But at Safety I didn't see that being a big problem for him. Because he plays close to the line of scrimmage, hits pretty well and tackles pretty well. He is also pretty instinctive in the short to medium passing game with his long 6'2" frame and will knock the ball down sometimes or get an interception.
Like I said I am surprised by his time. On instinctive play I would guess 4.55 or so. That's what I see out there anyway. I think he is worth a late round flyer for some team with a chance to at least find a role. I wouldn't pick him too soon with that time but his instinctive ability, long frame and taking good angles give him a chance to find a role. Keep in mind there are lots and lots of 4.6 Safety's in the NFL currently and in NFL history too. So it's not great but it's not impossible he can find a role at S.

That would be funny if we took Daniels, Welsh and Wadley with our late picks.
