About this episode
Ricky Turner scouts versatile safety prospects ahead of the NFL Draft.
With the NFL Draft just under two weeks away, we begin to scout a safety room with some intriguing depth. We start with the do-it-all chess piece who transferred to Oregon his senior year. Then, another transfer known for his heavy hitting and ball skills at LSU, a sleeper transfer from USC with exceptional coverage ability despite a slight frame, a surprisingly effective coverage, hair-on-fire type player who brings some pop with a smaller frame from TCU. Lastly, a well-built Penn State safety who bet on himself and improved his coverage ability, and a BIG 12 player with exceptional coverage skills, but run commitment concerns. Then it's time to see why I think this is about as unpredictable a draft in recent memory for a number of reasons. 0:00-12:07 Oregon S Dillion Thieneman 12:08-17:40 LSU S AJ Haulcy 17:41-24:56 USC S Kamari Ramsey 24:57-31:47 TCU S Bud Clark 31:48-40:02 PSU S Zakee Wheatley 40:03-45:47 Arizona S Genesis Smith 45:48-51:08 Unpredictable Draft
