Darryl Roberts, CB, Marshall

[RealityIsLuck]

One of my favorite late rounder sleepers, and we have shown interest in (Private Workout). Dominated lower level competition at Marshall. I'd love him any time from the 4th-6th. PFF is raving about this kid. (63rd in mock draft) and had this to say about him:

Darryl Roberts, Marshall

If you listened to our Podcast breaking down the cornerback class, you’ll know that this is a guy that Sam Monson really likes. It’s easy to see why too, with Roberts showing an ability to handle anything the coaches asked of him. On top of that he showed great balance and reactions, reading moves by wide receivers very quickly.

If there is a concern here, it would be that I would like to see him attack the ball more on deep passes, instead of waiting for the receiver come down with the ball before trying to rip it free. He’ll see plenty of physical wide receivers on Sundays in the NFL, so he’ll need to be ready to adapt his game to handle that.

I have my eye on him as well

I agree. I mocked him this morning to us in the sixth round:

He is aggressive an gets a lot of penalties, but so did Vontae before Pagano worked with him.

 

I feel as though he is a perfect match for what we do, and the current coaching staff that we have.

I agree with both of you, He seems like a Pagano type DB with tons of potential and upside could be a steal.
