Who is Leonard Johnson? And how does he get #3?

I’m ok with guy as a later round prospect, but I want a 6’1" or 6’2" corner with spedd. Put that type of guy in our system, give him 2 years to develop and we have champs replacement. Probably looking for a FA corner next year or the year after as well.

He’s got David Wilson ranked above Lamar Miller, Riley Reiff above Matt Kalil, and Janoris Jenkins, Alfonzo Dennard, and Leonard Johnson all above Dre Kirkpatrick.

I like Leonard Johnson too but second/third rounders such as Trumaine Johnson and Casey Hayward are better prospects IMO.

As a K-State fan I thought every player on KU’s secondary sucked big time. When we picked up Harris I even started making fun to my wife that a KU guy was going to be getting beat up on our practice squad (You should hear her rub it in now that, in the words of Fonzie, I was wrrrooooogh!) Anyways, I feel the same way about Iowa State’s secondary this past season. I watched three or four of their games and their secondary was an embarrassment. The OSU upset was solely because of the women’s basketball coaches’ deaths and their heads weren’t in the game. If Johnson turns out to be another diamond in the rough, I’m all for grabbing him… but right now I just don’t see it. But who’s to say I couldn’t be wroo wrooo wroo wrooggh again.

as a result i take real interest in those guys he has in his top 5s. However this is a guy who had McCoy as his number 1 DT 2 years ago ahead of Suh so he can get things wrong.

I have never seen Johnson play but if he is that good, Blackmon has run riot over most CBs including the likes of 1st round pick Prince Amukamara so that in itself says a lot about him, then he is worth taking a look.

Mayock said he was the most instinctual CB he had seen at the college level. That he would be a great nickel CB for the Broncos despite his lack of size and speed.

This guy reminds me of Phonz and I’d really not like to go down that road again.

Here’s a mystery: Why is Chase Minnifield thought of as draftable but Clemson’s Coty Sensabaugh is viewed as a UFA?

Sensabaugh played against at least three receivers last season who will likely be drafted this year: Dwight Jones, Chris Givens and Alshon Jeffery.

Here are some comparisons:
Alshon Jeffery:
vs. Coty – 2 catches for 29 yards and 1 TD
vs. Georgia’s Brandon Boykins – 5 catches for 85 yards and 1 TD

Chris Givens:
vs. Coty – 4 catches for 31 yards and 0 TD
vs. BC’s Donnie Fletcher – 7 catches for 132 yards and 1 TD
vs. Va Tech’s Jayron Hosley – 7 catches for 140 yards and 1 TD

Dwight Jones:
vs. Coty – 2 catches for 16 yards and 0 TD
vs. UVA’s Chase Minnifield – 5 catches for 85 yards and 1 TD
vs. Va Tech’s Jayron Hosley – 6 catches for 105 yards and 0 TD

So, I realize these comparisons aren’t perfect. We don’t know who was assigned to cover whom on a given play. But Sensabaugh’s primary job throughout the season was to cover the other team’s #1.

Sensabaugh’s speed will compare favorably to any of these guys. He’s got good size. He helps in run support and is an able tackler. He likely needs to develop his zone skills and has spent time at safety this year.

Does anyone know anything else about this kid? Why isn’t he viewed as going in the top four rounds?

The best part of the Senior Bowl was Maylock seeing Johnson take such a bad angle on the tackle that it had him muttering to himself.
I like Maylock and think he’s a good analyst, but hate when they get so cocky they put someone that far above where all the other guys do. I know most are sheep (I am) and it’s refreshing to have him stick to his guns on his analysis of Johnson, but he should look a little at what other scouts are saying. I think he was a little lonely out on that limb yesterday.
