***THE OFFICIAL 2015 NFL Rounds 4-7draft thread ***

Daryl Roberts - CB - Marshall to the Pats

There we go. All set on corners .

Darryl Roberts - 6'0 - Runs a 4.38 40

STRENGTHS
Impressive recovery speed with short-area twitch to go with it. Can change directions on command and has desired stop/start quickness. Has long arms and is aggressive with them in press coverage. Will look to pop receivers rather than just touch them at line of scrimmage. Will sniff around on plays outside of his responsibility looking to make a play. Has length, speed and ball skills to challenge most down-field throws. Core cover player on special teams. Has physical tools defensive backs coaches covet. See what he hits in run support and doesn't throw himself wildly at ball carriers.
WEAKNESSES
Willing to take too many physical liberties with receivers down the field. Penalized 6 times for 71 yards in 2014 including three pass interferences. Needs to play with more bend in backpedal to maximize body control and transition quickness. Inconsistent defensive awareness. Will allow an occasional throw in front of him or a running back to blow by him without being ready. Gets impatient and undisciplined in mirror-and-match situations despite his tools.

there is the corner we have been hoping for all draft

limited exposure to him, but good size, fast and a solid player.

17 PBUs in 2014

Now we have to endure 3 straight Broncos picks before our last.

I know nothing about him. What do you think manx?

Looks like a developmental prospect... Gets flagged pretty often. Coach him up a bit, but he's got the tangibles you like in a corner.

Good pick.

Is he related to Browner?

There's your CB...

Darryl Roberts! Finally!

I've been banging on about this kid for a few weeks now. I think he has a good shot to make the team and contribute. Great value in the 7th.

Video of Darryl Roberts

Roberts is raw. He needs a ton of work. He plays the ball extremely well though. I am excited by the pick.

Honestly looks like a good pick. Is the 6th round but maybe he'll be good.

I think he's a little slight but is very athletic and gets his hands on the ball. Personally I think he'll struggle to make the team but certainly has the upside too and for a 7th rounder, I think that's a really good pick. His upside is starting CB.

cuz we need a CB that won't see the light of day

Hm most of that video seems like Roberts getting beat, only watched a minute or two of it though.

Number #2 CB in Sparq behind Byron Jones

and no surprise he was a team captain.
