An NFL team will pickup a pure playmaker if they draft Virginia's Juan Thornhill. pic.twitter.com/4S3DfJ8MKk

Juan Thornhill, Safety from #Virginia...
Some examples of his willingness in run support, route anticipation and discipline. He's a solid tackler that wraps up and leads with his shoulder. #NFLDraft pic.twitter.com/PDZdEEY1E9

Virginia's Juan Thornhill lines up all over the place looking comfortable in both man and zone coverage. Despite having 2 Int's in this game, his ability to weave through traffic in run defense was something that consistently stood out. pic.twitter.com/gw1lGe72dS

Virginia S Juan Thornhill is a name that some might not be familiar too. This kid can ball and had a productive career at UVA: 208 Tackles, 12 TFL, 1.5 Sacks, 13 INT, 26 PD, 1 FF.

Nice size - 6'1 195lbs - Juan could be a very nice 2nd round pick up. pic.twitter.com/94k8PGJKmg

It's so hard to pick out a candidate for the single high role because so few do it in college (one of the reasons I wanted Hooker and then Earl but I digress)

Juan has the right mix of skills but it's still a huge projection.

I also think his tackling technique will have to change a lot, won't wash in the NFL.

I'm not boarding the train, but I'll have a look at the timetable and ticket price just in case.

it's hard to really get a feel for these safeties without proper film as well. I've watched the Miami game so far but just on YouTube.

Just from what I've seen with mocks and such, he's looking like a late 2nd early 3rd.

Like him a lot but it's hard scouting DBs cause of a lack of all 22 film access for us.

Sounds like we need a single high safety thread. We have at least 4 maybe 5 guys who might be good fits in that role and who could go on days 1 & 2?

There's been some recent chatter in the general draft discussion thread, and also in the Safeties thread.

There is a safeties thread? I missed that
