More than 50% of 1st round picks bust, even more for TE, WR and DB

Which is no surprise, the NFL loves to draft on measurables for those positions and we all know how little those mean without a proven track record of production.

The fact that Farley is falling to borderline 2nd round is insane, he was one of if not the best cover corners in the country in 2019 and proved he has the ability to rapidly improve YoY. His back injury history is naturally a concern, but I'd rather take him knowing when he's healthy he's a lockdown guy.

Looks like a lot of NFL mock drafts have Darrisaw picked before Farley now -- Apex-Hokie 04/27/2021 09:16AM

The OP was the one fretting about him potentially -- Tombo 04/28/2021 09:17AM

He's going somewhere in the first round, he'll be ok ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 04/27/2021 6:58PM

Don’t think you read my post -- Tombo 04/27/2021 7:13PM

I have to agree -- crazylane 04/27/2021 6:16PM

He is slipping strictly because he got hurt. The NFL loves upside. Farley -- uvabasher 04/27/2021 2:37PM

My sense is that an elite athlete with elite coverage skills is worthy of -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 3:50PM

I'm familiar with both players Mr. Condescension. And he could be -- Tombo 04/27/2021 2:43PM

I’m just saying he’s a high risk high reward prospect which some GMs love. -- uvabasher 04/27/2021 3:20PM

There's lots of unemployed GM's that love that combo also... ** -- Tombo 04/27/2021 3:34PM

Feel the same way- hope he excels -- hokiewasp 04/27/2021 11:36AM

If he stays healthy he’s elite. It’s a big if though. -- Pride_and_Joy 04/27/2021 09:58AM

Not surprising given Farley is hurt ** -- uvabasher 04/27/2021 09:28AM

That's not good leading up to the draft. ** -- EDGEMAN 04/27/2021 10:26AM
