Laviska Shenault vs Tyrell Shavers for the #5 spot. Who you got?

 

Shavers. In a landslide.

[MikePJ76]

from Brugler

 

SUMMARY: A two-year starter at Ohio State, Hancock played nickel cornerback in former defensive coordinator Jim Knowles' scheme (variations of Cover 1, Cover 3 and Cover 4 quarters). He also filled in at free safety when Lathan Ransom was banged up, and the coaches considered him an interchangeable defender across the secondary. Hancock plays with the size, strength and attitude of an NFL nickel and turned himself from a so-so tackler to an above-average run defender. In coverage, he falls behind too often from press and sees the field better from depth.

 

Overall, Hancock is a quick and physical defender with versatile experience, although his average speed and below-average balance when turning and phasing routes will be an issue against NFL slots. His best pro position might be as a safety who can provide depth at diferent spots in the secondary

[The Firebaugh Kid]

Isaiah Bond or bust

[The Jokeman]

Jordan might replace Cam Lewis.

[Pete]

Another defense selection 

[gonzo1105]

I think Ingram and Dane Jackson might be out of a job here and Cam Lewis job is no longer safe either

[Iverwig]

Hancock played some safety in college 

[Ralonzo]

Hancock is the safety.

I still don't get the lack of interest in receiver though.

 

I'm starting to wonder just a bit that they may be planning to trade for a veteran.  After all the pre-draft work,  to come out of here empty is odd.

Sounds like a Micah Hyde type hybrid

That is exactly whose job he is competing for.

maybe it's just me but being upset about not getting a 5th round WR in a weak WR class seems odd.  It's all dart throws at this point and personally I'd rather stack up on DEF with the current roster.

It absolutely is odd…and then acknowledging all of the weak class of WRs are gone (outside of the one with legal troubles) and still being mad we didn’t reach for an absolute nobody wr is even more odd imo 😂

[gonzo1105]

Hancock is College also played a lot of.......Man Coverage so we have now taken two defensive backs who specialize in man.

[poblano]

RB  in  #173  i guess

Because some years ago Buffalo make it work with a speedster WR UFA,  maybe they'll try again that way

[TheWeatherMan]

Drafting 1 WR in 3 years is dumb AF.  McD, your defense sucks no matter who you draft…it’s your scheme!!! 

[astb41]

Im good taking Bond at this point.  If it turns out he's a rapist just cut him and move on.

[Clyde Smith]

Did anyone draft Thornton yet?
