Nick Emanwuri out of South Carolina. I'm in, I'm in, I'm in. And whether you look at
00:06
Dane Brugler's board and Emanwuri is the number one safety on his board, you're talking about a
00:12
six foot three, 220 pound safety. And I'm just going to read you what, by the way, he's 17th
00:20
over on Dane's board. I'm going to read you what Dane wrote. Emanwuri has the size, speed,
00:24
and mindset to play a variety of roles. Although he projects best near the line of scrimmage where
00:29
he can blitz and be an eraser against the run and man up with tight ends and backs and coverage.
00:34
He has a floor of an adequate starter and special teamer, but his ceiling is exciting and won't put
00:38
him high on NFL team safety stack. I think some people are going to be scared away by that.
00:44
I'm not scared away by that. I think he's a playmaker in the middle of the Bengals defense.
00:48
I think that this idea that they need to find the next Jesse Bates, stop chasing ghosts. They don't
00:55
need the next Jesse Bates. They need someone that's going to come in and make plays and tackle and run
01:00
and cover and do all of the things that his safety is supposed to do. Would it be nice to have Jesse
01:04
Bates? Yes. But I'm not chasing ghosts. And so if Nick Emanwuri is there and the Bengals say he's the
01:10
best player available for us, he fits us. They brought him in on a 30 visit. I have no problem
01:16
with it because he's got size. He's got speed. He's going to tackle. He's going to make plays.
01:19
And I love that they call him the eraser. Nick the eraser. Are you kidding me? That's an elite
01:26
nickname as well. No, that's not why I like him. I like him for all the reasons I mentioned. You're
01:30
talking about an elite athlete in the middle of a defense, a playmaker in the middle of a defense
01:35
that needs more playmakers. Nick Emanwuri is high on my board in on Nick Emanwuri at pick 17.
