183rd overall-Aaron Colvin-Oklahoma- If not for his ACL injury at the senior bowl, and if not for his very slender frame he’d be a 2nd day pick lock. One of the things you like about him is his balls to the wall play on the field, but it’s also one of the things you might be leery about. His body just doesn’t have the mass to support that type of physical tackling he brings to the table. He also has a concussion history too. So it’s all about his ability to be able to stay on the field or not, but this far down he is worth a shot.
Alternate pick-Walt Aikens-Liberty- Aikens is coming out of a small school, but was a transfer from Illinois who had his scholarship revoked due to off field trouble involving a theft so there are some pretty major character risks here, but this far down not as big. He does have NFL starter traits. Size/speed ratio to start on the outside. Has good strength and shows the ability to be a press man corner who might be able to play some hybrid roles in some exotic sets.
