An instinctual, effective S who can play both the pass and the run equally well. I'll be happy if he is one of Ted's choices.
Ward is pretty damn good in run support and as a tackler. 95 tackles and 7 INTs last year.
However, a big concern has to be a recent surgery to have a screw placed in his foot. Just read that. He's hoping to be cleared before the May 8th draft...
Ward, the top-rated strong safety in this year's class by NFLDraftScout.com who can also play free safety, ran the 40 twice to display his straight-line speed before he soon undergoes surgery to have a screw inserted into his foot.He expects to be cleared to return to the field before the May 8-10 NFL Draft. Ward had 95 tackles and seven interceptions last season, and is considered to be a versatile back-end defender who boasts speed and good instincts despite being relatively small at 5-feet-11 and 193. He was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as a senior, and has even displayed the ability to drop down to handle slot receivers in man coverage. - The Sports Xchange
I don't really want Ted to draft any injured players. None. This may change my opinion a bit. Might be able to do a late round pick should he fall, but so many teams are having him in now for visits. He probably won't last long, even with a screw in his foot.
