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.

There is no doubt in my mind that Hayward is going to be awesome. I could even see him winning the #2 spot over Shields, even though Shields is looking pretty good this year (several of the PI calls against Shields have been abominable. It's almost as if Shields has been sleeping with the ref's wives. He seems to be singled out).

On O, 🇹🇹 will be drafting a WR and at least one OL.

And Hayward may be our best 2nd round pick since Jordy.

Love the confidence, but our O has a ways to go yet.
