While he wasn't as fast, according to NFL Network's Mike Mayock, Hayward probably had the best ball skills out of any of the cornerbacks coming out in the draft... including over Morris Claiborne.
And he definitely showed it. He doesn't have elite straight line speed, but he kept playing the ball, and not the receiver. Guy's gonna be a ballhawk.
If House turns out to be a fine player, we're good with Tramon and Hayward, with House and Shields competing to play slot.
We just gotta find somebody to really replace Charles Woodson. Is it McMillan or Jennings? Maybe. I'd draft another safety though.
