Detroit Lions draft preview CB Robert Alford

Broke down 4 films (Missouri, Midwestern State, Lamar, the Senior Bowl) on SE Louisiana CB Robert Alford.



Strengths good ball skills with 10 career interceptions. Most comfortable in press an but can play cover 2. Decent tackler with good reaction to run and pass. Excellent return man with good feel and speed. Has NFL measureables and played well at the Senior Bowl.

Weaknesses: not comfortable in off man. Committed a lot of penalties. Overaged at 24 years old. Missed a season with a neck injury.

Bottom line ready to contribute in the NFL. Most likely on special teams and maybe as a 3rd-4th CB. Has ability to start in his career and be a solid cover man.

Rating 6.4 solid rotation player with ability to start.

Round  rd.
