David Long - 5'-11" 196 lb. CB
10. (91) David Long - CB - Michigan - 5'-11" 196 lbs. - Solid in a word. Solid speed, solid athletic profile, solid in his movement from the waist down. Nothing that wows you. An NFL weightroom is going to do him wonders.
So my #10 CB and my #91 player overall. Rams drafted him 79th overall so I was pretty good this my placement, or the Rams are just using my board and not comping me.
From Alyo's post on the CB combine:
David Long Michigan 5105 196 4.45 4.46 -- 15 6.45 39.5 10-0 9 5/8 30 7/8 Was not expecting those numbers. His tape is not that impressive. Maybe I missed something? Anyone see something I didn't?My response:
4th round press man corner. He is fine as long as he gets his hands on you. I like him.That was from 3/9/19

I eventually graded him as a late 3rd rounder so i wasn;t too far off.
anyhow.
Positives:
Good speed
excellent mirror when up in press
smooth lower body
excellent footwork
oily frame
Negatives:
needs to get stronger
short arms
lack of ball production (1 int in 2019)
Overall I prefer a guy like Layne or i. Johnson or Mike Jackson, but he is a press man CB that will get a year in a NFL weightroom and gets to learn behind 2 of the best. This is a good pick for a team in need of a CB that is willing to compete and fits press man.
