I like the pick, small school prospect with great talent that just needs polish; he'll benefit redshirting while learning the ropes with Ramsey and Williams

Reminds me of Marcus Peters, actually. Ball hawk. Can blanket receivers. He opted out this year, which is probably why he didn't go higher.

Solid, solid pick.

Listed this dude yesterday! Excited to have him, Williams, and Ramsey on the same practice field together! I have a feeling we’ll have another gem in the making!

My favorite pick so far I think. Really like what I've seen and wouldn't be surprised if he's the starting nickel back by midseason.

They will probably have him playing outside and Williams playing nickel in certain packages, this guy is built like an outside guy.

He's the perfect fit to learn from Jalen Ramsey.

Honestly, I've been super impressed at how much of a teacher Ramsey is... and that's perfect to allow us to get a more raw guy like Rochelle.

Whats not to like about this pick? The guy can cover, plays the ball well and unlike Peters he isnt afraid to make a tackle.

Oh sure, jump on the Snead bandwagon!

I wasn't a fan of the selection. He is more of an athlete than football player at this point. He has gotten by with his superior athletic ability as opposed to using sound fundamentals. He is going to get beat off of the LOS a lot until he is taught and utilizes some technique. On the bright side, he has good make-up speed if he gets beat off of the LOS.

fast, big.. can catch the ball - and can tackle.

not a very common set of skills for a cornerback.. usually they are lacking at least one of those.
