Quote: Todd McShay: Finally got to study 2010 coach-copy tape on Colorado CB Jimmy Smith. Silky smooth for 6-2. Might be second best CB behind LSU's Patrick Peterson.
I love to see a fellow Buff getting some love. Smith and Jalil Brown are bog pretty solid cover guys. By the time April rolls around Smith might be looking at the mid-late 1st.
Prince's value might to take a dip (on the WZ). I doubt he was ever viewed as a top-10 pick or a legit option at #7. He's a polished CB, but I could see him getting picked around #15 or so.

Bottom line, we need speed and playmaking ability in our secondary immediately. Right now, we're everything we shouldn't be at the starting CB position:
~old
~slow
~lacking playmakers

i only watched the first video and my only concern is his tackling ability. maybe it was just a bad showcase but it looked like he went high every single time. didnt get low at all. you are not going to be able to tackle people in the NFL standing straight up. any comments on whether he does that a lot?

Someone on another board put up that he only gave up 11 completions in 2 years. However, most said he is a horrible tackler and will get dragged and miss a lot. That's a big issue but might be worth it at 45.

In 1981 Bill Walsh selected Ronnie Lott, Eric Wright, and Carlton Williamson with the first 3 picks of the draft and they all started right away in the backfield. Maybe the Niners should do the same thing and pick Prince and Smith. I seriously doubt they would do that but it wouldnt be the worst thing ever.
