I'm intrigued by Derwin James. My concern that I will be focusing on with him will be his ability to cover in the back end. I realize this isn't what makes him special but if he's more LB than DB than it hurts his draft stock imo. Either way I think the kid is heck of football player who make an impact wherever he goes. But I don't want a box safety in the top 10. He just can't be liability in the rare time he's asked play 2-deep or quarters.
Basically I want to see if he's more of a Jamal Adams type of SS (who can play 2-deep if asked) or Mark Barron (who gets lost in coverage more than 5-10 from the LOS).
James is freak athlete regardless so some team is going to pull the trigger early on his talent and plan to utilize it.
