Defensive backs looking just as good in the Draft
For as much love as the wide receivers received from the group on Saturday, a good amount was also shown to the opposite side of the position, the defensive backs.
Starting at 2:45 PM, we went to the Big 12 to check out Iowa State safety back Greg Eisworth, Pauline’s top prospect from the Cyclones, who has 54 tackles and ten passes defended this season.
“I continue to be impressed with Greg Eisworth, my highest rated Iowa State prospect coming into the season. He’s a tough safety who really stands out against the run while displaying skill in coverage.”
Then at 3:23 PM, A.J. Schulte made the note that Ohio State could have as many as three defensive backs drafted high in April.
“Ohio State RS SO CB Shaun Wade has been a pleasant surprise all season long and just came up with a clutch PBU on 4th down for the Buckeyes. There’s a legit chance that we could see three Ohio State defensive backs drafted high, as teammates Jeffrey Okudah and Damon Arnette are also talented corner prospects.”
We already know the talents of Okudah, who some have ranked as the top defensive back in the class. To have three potential high picks as the position is incredible, but just another example of the pipeline of defensive players, let alone defensive backs, to enter the NFL from the Horseshoe.
