Getting an average (NFL) cornerback with a 4 would be pretty good.
He meant average on a college scale.

Your right. It's a classic BB pick. He was overshadowed by David Irons and Patrick Lee during his college career, but he has good measurables so the potential is there at a low risk draft slot.
Agreed, he's got great speed (4.38) - fits the mold along with Hobbs and Wheatley. They must believe they can coach him [Wilhite] into a better player than the "draft pundits" had him pegged as.
The thing with the pundits is they fixate on the trend of the big WR too much and kinda peg guys for their size which if you have listened to Scott and Bill you would know they actually perfer the smaller shiftier corners for their agility.
Just off the top of my head I recall one of them saying the big thing is the ability to react to what the WR does because unlike the WR you don't know where your going before yuo have to go there. I guess the smaller guys have more fluid hips which allows them to react and cut quicker. Maybe someone else remembers the comments I speak to and can elaborate.

he got pretty specific on the idea they look for quickness and change of direction ability.
