A few thoughts: don't get too caught up in 1v1s. Everyone loses reps here and there. Watch for tendencies and repeat mistakes, sure, but keep in mind that the coaches may have asked to see a particular technique -- there are many reasons for poor reps. I'll never forget how I overreacted to seeing Sherman roasted deep in the Senior Bowl practices, but he was still learning the position. He's been the best vertical corner in the league for nearly a decade, but I wrote him off after an awful rep.
Redwine was asked to play more man coverage than he's used to, but he's still a solid safety. I like his game. Raymond got open there, but I still don't like his film.
Allen thrives as a strong presence throughout the game. He may not look as good in this situation, and people will call him a tweener with limited upside, but he's a perfect fit here as far as I'm concerned.
Deiter played every position on the oline in college. He lacks a bit of an anchor, and he never got to refine his craft at a single position, but I don't care that he lost a bunch of 1v1s. Scar + the conditioning staff could turn him into another Thuney. I'm more concerned about technique and coachability than particular reports.
Best thing to do is watch the practice videos instead of believing someone's summary. I roll my eyes reading so many contradictory reports. I enjoy seeing traits that translate, but I try to remember that it's just one more piece of the puzzle.
