My bad. Not in NFL HOF but should be....
Hidden gems perchance?

I don't know how a guy that some project in the first round to be underrated.
The guy that everyone talks about being underrated is probably not underrated.
I think it has more to do with most of the draft hype surrounding guys like Lattimore, Marlon Humphrey, Kevin King, Sydney Jones, Tre'Davious White, Teez Tabor, Jourdan Lewis and Adoree Jackson. Chido and Spoon have been rising fast with the fans and media, but I would imagine, most NFL GMs haven't been underrating them.
Must be getting clear indications that he'll be picked in the 1st round and not end up sitting there looking like an idot. I think I read something about the NFL working hard to avoid any more of those situations.

Go get em Chido...1st round talent no doubt
Would be allsome
Also means that he has the kind of personality and character they want to highlight.
I don't believe I have ever seen him interviewed before. Very articulate, well spoken young man.
Chido about to make some big time money. Happy for him. Great news for him and great news for the University. Can't buy the type of exposure that comes from first round draft picks.
Beyond the talent, Chido is smart. NFL teams value that a lot. He's also a high character guy. Every NFL team has its "Bottom 10" list for its roster -- the guys it most worries about getting into trouble on a road trip. Another big bump with Chido is that they know he won't be one of those Bottom 10 guys. So when you stack that stuff on top of a 4.43 forty, a nearly 40" vertical, technique taught by one of the best DB coaches in the country (MacIntyre), and the ability to play left, right, slot and safety, Chido becomes about the safest pick a team can make.
I know a lot of teams really like him. Hoping Denver has a shot but seems like we are looking elsewhere. Dude like this, you can play in different positions, I like that about him. Love to see him be a Bronco.
I have no idea what my Cards are going to do but I wouldn't mind them trading down and pairing Chido with PP and the badger.

beware the habu
A guy at work who's a huge cowgirls fan said there are signs pointing to the team taking one or more safeties in the mid to late rounds.
It wouldn't be a bad landing place for TT
I'd love for the Cards to pick up Chido. That is a solidly run organization from what my FIL says and the Bidwell's really seem to take care of their players.
He worked for them for about 20 years. Chido would be able to go against some damn good receivers in practice and have some great mentors in the Honeybadger and PP.
