2017 CU Players in the NFL (Plus Draft Thread)

They are more similar than you give credit for. Chido is not a true outside cover corner in the NFL. He can do it, but that's not why he's viewed as a 1st rounder. His play in the slot, his ability to tackle and rush off the edge, and general versatility as a DB is where the Honey Badger comps come from.

Chido should definitely go in the 2nd. Ted in 3rd-4th. Spoon in the 4th-5th.
Have a feeling Chido is going to play with hair on fire for whatever team drafts him. Should feel slighted that he fell out of the 1st.

Spoon 4th-5th?
I think he will slip that far. He hasn't gotten a lot of attention since the combine, and with as many defenders that are still left on the board, it is going to be tough for him to get picked today I think.
NFL.com's mock draft has Chido at #36 (R2) to Chicago, TT at #92(R3) to Dallas and Spoon at #97 (R3) to Miami.

People need to stop with sending Money Gang to Miami. Getting my hopes up.
Makes sense. I figured once GB traded out of the first it was over for Chido. Seattle was the other possibility, but they also moved back.
Also not sure how much longer Green Bay's system will be in place. McCarthy's seat is growing warmer.
Is this some sort of tini's Mom joke?
He didn't say every night.

beware the habu
And he didn't say tons of fun
I thought so too through about 6-7 games last year, but then they go on a run and make it to the NFCCG. Tough to can a guy with a Super Bowl ring and 5 division titles in the last 6 years. As long as Rodgers is there to cover up how bad that roster actually is, I don't see MM going anywhere. GB is my "2nd team" so I'm rooting for Chido to go there. He'd be an immediate starter in a bad secondary.
Good chance for Chido to get picked there if GB sticks in the spot. But there will be some offers for that pick as teams see guys on their boards who they graded in the top half of the 1st round still available. I'd be surprised if there isn't heavy trading today.
As evidenced in the NFCCG, the Pack need serious help at DB. Chido, Sydney Jones and Kevin King are probably the 3 best remaining. For their sake, I hope they don't trade back even further and lose out on one of those guys.
pack shopping pick to move down again...even floating rumor they are looking at nd qb. nice pick to have as teams have plenty of time to get excited about some "must have" player

PFF's updated mock for rounds 2-3 doesn't have Chido going until the 3rd round, and doesn't include Witherspoon. Really hope it doesn't shake out like that.
So much comes down to how desperate teams get with the lack of depth at other positions. When they start taking an OL or QB in the 2nd despite having a 3rd round grade on the guy because their next group of guys at that position have 5th/6th round grades, it can cause the guys at deep positions like CB to slip. Best thing for our CU guys is if we see a run on DBs in the first half of the 2nd round that takes Chido off the board and puts both Spoon & TT in play earlier.
As long as teams are saying "the dropoff at DB to the next round isn't bad, but it's horrible at other positions of need", our guys are in a bad spot.
Evan Silva at Rotoworld has them both going in the second (Cardinals and Chiefs).
Free beers for a year if Ted goes ahead of Spoon.
I have seen some folks projecting a run on safeties today. The only reason I slotted them in that order.
