I actually had John Johnson and Copper Kupp mocked in my mocked in my very first mock of the year 3 months ago.I also had Johnson mocked in my 2nd mock a month after that. My comment on him from that mock:
A rangey FS that isn't afraid to stick his nose in the LoS. He can get deeked by double moves, but it isn't anything that isn't correctable.I honestly think in a normal year for FSs he would be a 3rd rounder at worst. Its just so deep the Rams should take advantage of it.
I had him rated at #125, this is from my bigboard:
125. John Johnson - S - Boston College - Has played CB and S. Smooth with +footwork. Excellent ball skills and gets sideline to sideline. Needs to play more physically as a S.
+ball skills
excellent range
willing tackler
CB experience
a tad undersized
smooth movement skills
+feet
not a hammer
I am thrilled with this pick. Hammers are fine, but ballhawks that don't blow coverages are even nicer. He could line up anywhere for the Rams.
