45th pick- Brian Branch S Alabama

I know everyone loves this pick but I have my concerns with him.  If we play him as just a nickel I think that would be a mistake.  I think he has to play safety/flex that can cover the nickel.  I think if he has to cover seem or deep routes vs speed guys he's going to get burned.  If he can be that third safety I think he can thrive.

If we play Branch in a similar role as Tyron Matheu he will be a stud.  If we play him as purely a nickel I don't think we are setting him up for success or utilizing his skill set correctly.
