I'm super high on Fitzpatrick but I think the consensus is Derwin James is the top guy. I haven't had a chance to watch FSU this season yet so I don't know if he's living up to that billing.

There hasn't been any discussion in this thread so I thought I'd try and liven it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted September 26, 2017 Share Posted September 26, 2017 Well Fitzpatrick may not even end up a safety in the NFL but I'm a fan for a few reasons. He's ultra versatile, having success pretty much everywhere in the defensive backfield and could do the same at the next level. He's a really good athlete (reported 4.39-though that seems a little too fast) in a strong, compact body. He's aggressive and more than willing to play the run and he's a big time playmaker. He absolutely locked up Juju Smith-Schuster in week one last year spending basically the whole game on him so the coverage skills are clearly there. Comes off as a high IQ guy to me, doesn't make many mistakes and you have to be smart to be able to succeed at such a high level at numerous positions. Outside of him being a hair short, and not being an elite athlete I don't really have any complaints. He's improved his ball skills quite a bit over the past few years, he takes better angles and if he's at safety he won't be in press which primarily where he has struggled in the past.

Do you think he'll be a CB in the NFL? I'm sorry about all the questions, I haven't watched one college game this year ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

48 1/2ers Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Doubt he comes out this year but Clemson Safety Tanner Muse is one of my favorites right now. Dude checks all the boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we comparing them both as prospects coming. Because Taylor's ball skills were not top notch. In fact he was kinda raw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
