Like this pick a lot.
As I said in the draft thread, I am biased as a Michigan fan but he was on his way to being a top 40-50 prospect had he not sat out. He was one of the bright spots two seasons ago, Kid is ultra competitive, a little handsy at times but a nice physical kid. Good ball skills, fights for everything, it was a good pick and has some good return skills, I think he brought one to the house.
The stuff we complained about with Witherspoon will not be an issue with him.

Wow. I'm impressed. He plays the ball well on the highlights. He needs to put one some muscle. He's thin. But a lot of upside. Good pick.
they said he got colitis, spent a month in the hospital and dropped 35 pounds just before the 2019 season
Oh well I hope he will put some strength back on then as time goes forward.

He ran a 4.37 and plays at 4.37 speed
excellent cover skills. He should play on the outside without a doubt

Welcome to the Nation. Really digging this draft.
We are an Empire, we aren't the raiders.

That's dumb. It's Niner Empire, there's Niner Empire chapters all over the states. Look it up. We have 2 Niner Empire chapters here in Vegas.

333 cover snaps
47 targets

53% catch rate
1 TD allowed
3 INTs
3 PBUs
56.3 passer rating allowed
Will Ambry return to #Michigan in 2020 or head to the NFL?
Ambry balled out when defending deep passes with a depth of target beyond 20+ yards:
— Jarad Evans (@PFF_Jarad) January 10, 2020
15 targets (4th most among Big Ten CBs)
5 catches
33% catch rate
4 forced incompletions
0 TDs
1 INT
39.9 passer rating (FBS avg. = 100.5)
Jesus he seems like an absolute stud
Probably would have gone higher had he not opted out this season.
He was a top 50 prospect until he opted out

Yeah, he and Nico Collins had chances to really be early 2nd round, late 1st types of guys....season dependent of course. The fact that so many of our guys are on 1 year deals at least gives him a year to sit back, learn and try to come in when some of our guys leave next year. He's a good kid, I think he has a future.

There was a run on CB there before this pick and I'm glad we got one. I like the pick alot . Nice speed and cover skills. We need one more CB and an Edge and this defense will be better. Nice pick!!

If you 3rd or below expectations aren't high so no way he could be a bust
