Colorado CB Chidobe Awuzie

He's 6'0 202lbs 4.43 forty, I'm not sure what round he will go in. Solid player really football smart he was on NFL Network comes across well.

 

Very versatile.


There is really not much he cannot do from a coverage and position standpoint on the back end. Very good athlete and very good player; a great value pick for anyone in the top half of the second or.

 

i was a big awuzie fan early on when most had him as a 3rd rounder, then as always he moved up out of our range in the first i thought and still think. he will go in the first before 30.

 

I read that he played all 4 positions in the secondary for Colorado, if he slid to the third round that's good value.

 

he won't make it out of the 1st.

 

He made some money with that 40 time

 

I think he is in play.

 

Yes he will, he's not rated in the top 5 CBs.

 

He is scheduled to attend the Draft in Philly, so he must be viewed as a 1st rounder by the NFL.

 

Geno Smith also attended the draft the year he came out, he didn't go until the second round .

 

He'll be a top 64 draft pick. I predict somewhere between pick 20 and pick 50..

yea but awuzie has talent.

 

He can go anywhere from late 1st to early second as I see it.


Now, should the Steelers draft him? Depends on who is there. If he, Kevin King (unlikely but I have some faith) and Obi Melifonwu are there, that would be interesting for sure.

 

Would not surprise me in the least if he is the guy.

 

Steelers will run to the podium if he is there.

 

He wont be a day 1 starter needs a lot of work, small hands:

Biggest concern:

• Long speed is an issue? Struggled with recovery speed on several long receptions this past season.
• Not a playmaker. While he improved at forcing pass breakups in 2016, he has recorded just three interceptions over the past three seasons.
• Needs to improve his technique as a tackler. Far too often he goes in high and looking for a big hit. Missed 33 tackles over the past three years and will likely miss even more against bigger, stronger NFL receivers.
• Inconsistent against the run over the past three seasons. Impressed in 2015 but struggled in 2014 and 2016. PFF Scouting report:

 

The Steelers draft at least 3 players that came in for visits. 1st rders are on a higher % but I don't remember them bringing in Burns or Dupree the last couple years.

Been saying this the whole time, but what do I know.

 

Yep, after a read my post I wanted to edit it but had to go.

Even though they didn't have them in fr a "visit" they did meet with them. Dupree at the combine and pro day where they also had dinner.

I guess my point was not all who are drafted , including 1st rd, are invited to the facility for an official visit but they definitely meet and talk at some point .
