An interesting prospect who has experience at both CB and safety. At this level he's basically a safety. He's got slightly better than average speed for the position with average length. He looks like a SS at this point and in college showed he is willing to come up and make tackles in the run game. If he pans out like I think he might, this would give Staley huge depth at safety.
Since he plays a soft zone, having depth at safety is a must. Staley's zone concept is basically a cover 2 scheme in the way it's played. He leaves the short zone fairly open with the idea of coming up to make tackles and waiting for an offensive mistake. That passive concept IMO seems to go against the type of players he has like AD and Ramsey who are super aggressive in their style.
