Like I said man I think he’s a damn good corner, but his mix of size and athleticism worry me on the outside long term. He’d fit much better as a slot guy, but I’m sure Detroit will find a way to make him work because he fits their mindset almost perfectly.
@MillerFootball don't see Manu 6 ft slot corners but ok he was the nu.ber 1 cb in this draft getting him at 24 was a steal. That's what most say anyway still like him more the slow small witherspoon that went to Seattle last year
There are actually quite a few 6'0"+ slot defenders in the league nowadays, and I do not see any similarities in his game to Witherspoon's. As I said in the video, I see a lot of Chris Harris Jr in his game, as he was just a tick shorter and was a killer nickel while also being a serviceable outside corner when needed. I do not think Arnold will be a bad corner by any means, but I did not see him as the number 1 CB in the draft like you do. However, the beauty of the NFL draft is we all end up with slightly varying opinions on players based upon how we evaluate, and I think it's fun to discuss and compare evaluations!
@@MillerFootball #2 best CB at worst. I honestly would've rather had them trade back... Carolina 39 and 101 for 29 and gotten a Braden fisk, rakestraw, beebe ,renardo green. That would've been a better 3 rounds on my opinion.
I’d say y’all dodged a bullet alongside 30 other teams not ending up with Fiske, but a haul with Green, Rakestraw, and Beebe definitely would’ve been dope. I had Arnold as my CB4 personally, but it’s like I said in the comment you replied to, that’s the beauty of pre-draft analysis!
Trading up for a RB/WR/ST in the 4th round who played safety in college when there were genuinely good RBs & WRs still on the board just isn’t good process imo, especially when I had Vaki graded lower than a 4th round value for me. Vaki’s fits Detroit’s vibe super well, so I get why the Lions wanted him, but he just felt like a reach based on my evaluations.
@@MillerFootball well, It won't be the first or last time the Lion's value system doesn't coincide with pundits. Both Campbell and Holmes wanted Manu and Vaki. I hope their luck continues to hit.
@@bradpirochta9293 yeah at the end of the day if their picks hit, that’s what matters! I’m not a fortune teller, so I can’t tell you for sure what Vaki will be. All I have to go off of is my evaluations, but despite the low grade I will say I do see the appeal. Vaki turning into a legit contributor wouldn’t shock me at all.
