Huh?
Ooook? I don't get this pick. Someone help me understand.

Sherman draft profile:
WEAKNESSES
Can be baited out of position when in zone and a tick late to diagnose underneath routes. Tall, high-cut prospect who displays some hip-stiffness. Not explosive when transitioning or when changing direction. Lacks great recovery skills when beaten off the line. Can struggle tacking in the open field at times.
Flowers:
Weaknesses
- High cut with gangly basketball frame
- Doesn't look like an NFL safety
- Play strength is lacking
- Could struggle to handle box duties
- Can be jostled at the break point by physical tight ends and receivers
- Hips are tight and movement in space is fragmented
- Lack of fluidity shows up when forced into coverage role
- Grab and ride finisher with too many missed tackles in his background
- Needs to square-up rather than arm tackle
this guy could end up playing in shermans spot...
I still have a bad taste in my mouth about the midgets the Seahawks had at CBS at one point. Geez watching Fitz abuse the hell out of them was enough to make me want to scream.Big corners is the way to go in the modern NFL... It’s such a disadvantage locking a 5.10 inch corner on a 6.4 receiver .... That’s one thing I love about Coach Carroll, he likes big corners.. Remember watching Kelly Jennings getting abused by big receivers ? I’m surprised more teams don’t follow that...

Experts take shots in the dark. If they're right they'll let you know and if wrong you'll usually never hear a peep out them about that player. No one really knows till three years in for the most part.
I was trying to point out how similar the "weaknesses" are to sherman's, which is why we drafted this guy. he is the prototype and i could see him replacing sherman. he likely wont be as good as sherman but he could do very well.
For everyone that likes flowers measurables remember what Tharold Simon looked like when we drafted him. suppose to be a big physical DB coming from an SEC conference. Now he is cleaning pools

Oh how times have changed with more and more corners coming into the league at 6' or taller. Look at Kam Chancellor he's tall enough to be an inside LB

Why only focus on his weaknesses?
