Oh I agree with Perriman getting the axe, I think that should've already happened.

With the remaining picks I hope they go:

Bradley Bozeman

Bo Scarbrough

Deontay Burnett

DeShon Elliott

Let's gooooo. That's one. Pissed I took him off my 20 prospect list.

I like this pick, and Elliot as a player. Though he would go much higher. Great player in bracket coverage

Yea, seems like really good value in the 6th considering his physical profile and some of the plays he made at UT.

After my first look at Elliot-

"Wow.... Deshon Elliot snuck up on me. FS/SS, Texas 6'2 219. He's a true all around safety. Despite being so young he already physically overwhelms players and has a high high ceiling. He can ballhawk in the centerfield or be a roaming enforcer. He could even contribute early for us by locking down on TEs and take over the dimebacker role from Clark/Levine. The knock on him is that he is a poor tackler but I don't see it, I see a knowledgeable beyond his years operator who can discern when to wrap, hit, or tackle. He shows plus instincts as well as ball skills/return ability. KO hitter with room to grow, we need this kid!

He's an early round safety, I don't know why projections on him are so low but I can't seem him being there past our 2nd round pick if even in the 2nd at all."

Hopefully we try DeShon Elliot out as an ILB. Playmaking instincts, good zone coverage option, and can hit. Just based off of what I’m hearing of our 4th round LB, I’m not a fan of that pick and Elliot could be the solution there instead.

Sounds like he can cover backs out of the backfield, which is something we have needed.  I don't know a ton about him.

I did always kind of view him as Plan B Derwin lol
