With who exactly?? I like getting young talented guys in the draft, bringing FA dont exactly fix a problem. I damn sure dont want to be in another antoine cason situation again.

This is a really bad post but I'll ignore that and point out I don't really even have an issue with this pick and am just enjoying watching the apologists squirm while trotting out strawman argument after another to a changing narrative about our general manager.

 

I'm savoring it, honestly.

Yea in 2 years but we can still play both so we should be able to play Base instead of going to nickel

Depending on the offenses personnel, we very well may play Shaq as that Buffalo Nickle.  But, not when the other team goes wide with smaller receivers.  Shaq can't cover slot WR's successfully.  It will be a matchup and scheme thing.

Boykin will  do that for a year and then Bene , since we have 2 big outside corner.

A two-time first-team All-Big 12 pick from Fort Worth, Texas, Sanchez has been a stalwart for the Sooners since taking the starting job as a redshirt freshman in 2013. He started 37 games over the past three years, missing two games this fall with a right leg injury. His slight frame worries scouts, and some questioned Sanchez's decision to leave early for the NFL, but there's no doubting his ability to play the ball (15 interceptions, 28 pass break-ups over the past three seasons). Sanchez received 2015 second team All-American notice from multiple outlets, as he not only picked off seven passes, but had 45 tackles, 3.5 for loss, and seven pass breakups.

 

PRO DAY RESULTS

 
40-yard dash: 4.5 and 4.48 seconds 
Broad jump: 9 feet, 7 inches

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS

 Three-year starter. Outstanding ball production has been his calling card. Grabbed 15 interceptions during three-year career. Always looking to take the ball reading the quarterback's eyes and taking sharp angles on the throw. Has the hands and athleticism to make difficult interceptions. Great spatial feel in zone shifting from receiver to receiver and squeezing throwing windows. Mirror and match footwork combined with route recognition from man-­off gives him playmaking opportunities. Carries long speed to challenge vertical targets.

WEAKNESSES

 Short and rail thin for an outside cornerback. Inconsistent tackler due to size. May not have enough sand to hold up against physical receivers. Reckless habit of diving head first on slant looks only to be burned by "sluggo" (slant and go) routes. Doesn't play as fast as his forty time. Allowed 12 touchdowns over last three years and that number should have been higher (drops/overthrows). Can be turned around by clever routes. Average closing burst out of backpedal.

DRAFT PROJECTION

 Round 5

SOURCES TELL US

 "He is fast and talented. I'm always partial to guys who make plays on the ball so I like him. I don't think he's tough enough to tackle so he is probably just a true nickel cornerback who you have to play outside so teams can't run it at him in the slot." -- NFC director of scouting

NFL COMPARISON

 Patrick Robinson

BOTTOM LINE

 Experienced cornerback who has cover experience against current and future NFL receivers. Sanchez is a feast or famine cover man whose instincts run him into interceptions but also into aggressive mistakes that can cost his own team. His lack of size will work against him on draft day, but his ball production will be heavily weighed by teams looking for coverage help from a third cornerback.

Sounds a lot like a young Josh Norman.
