I don't know much about this guy, but the CB position is loaded in this year's draft. Auburn's Carlton Davis and LSU's Donte Jackson are both exceptional athletes who dominated offensive NFL talent in the SEC all year long. I remember watching OSU and seeing Denzel Ward look like a man amongst children when he played. Def .a good year for early picks to draft CB

If CB is your need...then this is the year, when it comes to the draft. Meeks is another corner with size that can play physical at the line of scrimmage. Listen....there are around ten or so corners that have that "come and make a difference right away" kind of talent. The separation of them are all really small. It's just that deep of a group.
In my opinion Josh Jackson, Ward, Alexander and Oliver are all a tiny step up. Then you have your "big" corners in Kelly, Hill and Mr. Meeks here.
Although a bit small....Hughes and Reed can flat out ball hawk and will be perfect Nicklebacks. Stroman, Stewart and Wallace are all 4 - year/ solid corners that can play right away. And trust me....there's more. This has to be the "safest" class when it comes to CB needs. You can really wait and get a solid corner if you have more dire needs to address early on.
Just my thoughts. As you can see....I'm really high on this group of DB's. : )

@js7od is absolutely right. We are about to ee one of the most unique drafts in years. With so many skill position players set to be drafted in the first round there will be a shift. The top spots are usually reserved for the oh so important linemen on both sides of the ball with few skill players sprinkled through. This year with all the QB's, CB's and WR's up high they will dominate.

Some great comments already. Meeks is another player any team should love to have. Big, physical, good effort, but also good football IQ. I agree this is a stud year for CBs.
