Kevin Johnson CB Wake Forest

Kevin Johnson

 

 

6'0 188lbs

 

He had a few fantastic games last year (Clemson most notably) and I've seen a lot of good stuff written about this kid.  Johnson may fall into that zone between our 1st and 2nd rounder, but I see him having a late first round grade on a lot of sites.  He's a skilled technician at the position, good size, good speed, good awareness.  The area for improvement is in run support but I think he'll be highly coachable in that regard and get better moving forward.   

 

Never missed a single game in college and overall just seems consistent and poised to be a starting CB. 

 

Johnson may not end up being the BPA when 25 rolls around but regardless, he's going to be really good in the NFL and if you're open to Jalen Collins in R1, I think Johnson should be considered as well.    

 

NFL.com compares him to Sam Shields who's one of my favorite cornerbacks.

very good footwork, does not take any mis steps when breaking on the ball. good instincts, and can read routes really well.didn't have many picks, but, was a very consistent player while at Wake. has to become more physical vs. WRs and in the running game.

Agreed.  He proved he was willing to bulk up in college and I could see him willing to take it to the next level once in the NFL.

wont be available when we pick in the 2nd and certainly wouldn't take the chance on him in the 1st.
