      He’s 6’3” and can run. He started out as a WR and switched to corner. Seems interesting. There are a lot of tall corners available this year

        6'2"... but whose counting. Might be there Day3, but more likely a 2nd day pick...

        I'd prefer another U of H kid on Day 2... Isaiah Johnson. Same height, but 16# heavier and 0.10 (and change) faster in the 40. Went into the Combine a bit of a sleeper, but drew a lot of attention and his stock is rising.

          Thank you Mr. Super Scout... Walter Football doesn't think much of Layne- #35 rated... 

          Justin Layne*, CB, Michigan State 
          Height: 6-3. Weight: 185. 
          Projected 40 Time: 4.50. (4.50)
          Projected Round (2019): 5-7. 
          3/16/19: Layne started out his collegiate career as a wide receiver before being switched to cornerback. The junior totaled 72 tackles with 15 passes broken up and an interception in 2018. He recorded 40 tackles with eight breakups and an interception in 2017.

          Here's Johnson #17.  🙂  

          Isaiah Johnson, CB, Houston 
          Height: 6-2. Weight: 207. Arm: 33.63. Hand: 8.25. (he'd never make it as a QB) 
          Projected 40 Time: 4.58. 
          Projected Round (2019): 3-5. 
          3/16/19: In 2018, Johnson recorded 66 tackles with seven passes broken up and two interceptions. He is a tall corner who may have to move to safety in the NFL. As a junior, Johnson totaled 45 tackles with seven passes broken up and two interceptions. Johnson helped himself with a fast 40 at the combine. (4.40)

                  Tall corners have their place.  Just depends on how you're asking them to play.

                    this is true.

                    looking at the entire list of cb's this year, not many, if any ? run a sub 4.4 in the forty.

                    Sure, both players have advantages and disadvantages. But overall, NFL.COM has Layne with a slightly higher

                    grade = 5.8

                    Justin Layne CB - PROSPECT GRADE 5.8

                    Isaiah Johnson CB- PROSPECT GRADE 5.7

                    Go figure.

                      Tall corners usually struggle turning their hips.

                          He thinks he's a first round pick but does he know we ain't in the 1st round no more?

                            Nnamdi, Sherm, Crow, Jimmy Smith... a few names off rip that are taller corners.       Being fluid in the hips is one thing, but technique trumps all.

                                  While he may never return to form, if he does...

                                  And this is the year he either breaks into the lineup or he's gone. How long can we afford to keep him on IR is the question.
