Honestly, based on last year I think Eli is a good comparison and not a slight on him at all. More mobile than Eli thoughHe's more Peyton than Eli
Another good one is Big Ben

GRADE
5.6
5'10" - 195LBS.
STRENGTHS Very fluid mover. He can transition like his hips are on a swivel and he has the foot quickness in tight spaces to match. Instinctive and alert. Will transition from man or zone coverage and become a willing tackler against crossing routes that enter his side of the field. Not a robotic defender -- adjusts on the fly as plays unfold. Uses the boundary effectively. Doesn't shy away from tackling. Competitive and won't prematurely open up out of fear. Tracks the ball effectively and has plus ball skills. Mentally tough and twitchy. Playmaking tendencies. Aggressive for size in press coverage. Has experience outside and in the slot. Projected as an NFL gunner on special teams.
WEAKNESSES Suffered a severe knee injury after the regular season in preparation for the College Football Playoff semifinal vs. Florida State. Unorthodox defender who rarely relies on technique. Gets in trouble trying to bait throws. Spends too much time trying to read quarterback and jump routes. Scouting community down on short cornerbacks. Prefers to play trail technique but lacks length speed to recover when challenged over the top against bigger targets. Missed more tackles in 2014 than in any other season. Can get wild and lose technique as a tackler. Tape from 2014 has scouts questioning his long speed.
SOURCES TELL US "He's tough and has ball skills. He's just being asked to go play right now but he'll get the right technique work in our league and watch how good he becomes then. He's going to be great." -- AFC South area scout
NFL COMPARISON Alterraun Verner
BOTTOM LINE Ekpre-Olomu's height and knee issue are likely to take him off the board as a first-round prospect for many defenses. However, what he lacks in measurables, he makes up for with production, natural ability and confidence. He might lack the size teams want from an outside cornerback, but he's more than capable of playing in the slot and playing press, off or zone effectively. Unfortunately for Ekpre-Olomu, the knee injury could hurt his draft stock.

I'm thinking seattle at 63 or maybe even 31 if he beasts at the combine. He is going to be great.. @Brady-Carter your opinion?

Only concern with Ifo is his hight(And knee obviously). But still, the guy is unbelievable. I agree Ifo in the 3rd round will be a absolute steal. The guy is the closes thing I have seen to Revis in CFB(The way he plays). Even this year playing on one foot he was good.
And what is really underrated about Ifo is his tackling and run support. Their was one play against MSU this year in the 4th Q on a big 4and 2 or third in 2. Where dude burst off the line and was first contact on MSU's RB that made it possible for the front to stop langford short.
Whoever takes him will have to be willing to basically redshirt him this year tho. B/c of the knee injury. I would be cool with the Pats taking him at the end of the second round, that is for sure.
I'm tried of us taking chances on players in the draft that are currently hurt. We did it with the cat from Florida last yr and the corner Dowling never really even made it to the field. I just want a healthy stud pick.
Good point.If Ifo falls to the 1st pick of the 2nd round, Bucs are grabbin' him with the quickness.
Hell if we could get Jameis, Ifo, and Greene or Green-Beckham with our 1st 3 picks, i'd say we were successful as fukk.
We need OLine bad, but I just can't say no to addin' more weapons if they're availableYa, I would say so. But is Oline not a major need for you guys?
