    I thought Mo was a better pure cover corner than PP7 last year. No disrespect intended to PP7 because the guy was incredible but I think his physique makes him more apt to end up being a safety in the NFL. Mo has all the intangibles and reminds me more of a Champ Bailey type corner.

    As far as Mathieu, I think he will be used in the Pros very much the same way Chavis utilizes his talents now. Due to his size he might be better off at safely also, sort of in the mold of Bob Sanders (think that's right), the guy who played safety for the Colts a few years back during their championship run. Either way I see both of these guys, along with Reid, Taylor, Brooks and Simon as future starters in the pros, barring injuries of course.

    Bob Sanders has about 30 pounds on Tyrann. Tyrann would be more like Jim Leonhard.

    Sanders was drafted by the Colts in 2004, second round. Hes now with the Chargers, he too is only 5'8".

    Brooks has a good shot in the Pros, from day one special teams as a gunner. Best of luck to Ron.

    Yep, Leonhard is in the 185 range.

    Mo is an awesome CB and of equal importance, he's a high character guy.

    GM's are investing millions in these guys and having a solid head on the shoulders means a lot. They don't need a guy who will flake out, punch a hooker in the face in a strip club, etc.

    MO's skills plus character make him a top 5 pick.

    The value of a great man2man corner has gone up astronomically in the NFL due to the new rules that hamstring the play of safeties. If your safety can no longer come across and knock out WRs, then the cornerbacks have to be in super tight coverage.

    I won't ask :grin:

    Tyrann may be better suited at Nickelback. He's proven that he can be effective at pretty much position on the field. He WILL find his way to the ball.

    Would PP7 be better at safety?

    PP7 good showing may rub off on Mo. NFL might come to see LSU as Defensive Back incubator.
