Did you click <> first, then paste the link?
Dantzler put on a bunch of bad weight at the combine. He measured 6-2, 188, which is still very light, but might be a good 10 to 15 lbs over his natural weight. With all that donut weight on his frame he couldn't get under 4.64 in the forty. A month later, at his pro day, and down to his natural weight, he (supposedly) ran a 4.38.
4.38 is probably closer to his real speed, but 175 is closer to his real weight. Can a corner measuring 6-2, 175 play in the NFL? Man, I don't think so. He looks SO good on film, but I wouldn't be surprised if he red shirts in '20 until he can put 15-20 lbs of good weight on his frame.

If Trae Waynes is a 190 lbs., I'll shit a brick. These 2 look very similar Dantzler is taller, but even if you add 5 lbs. of muscle, he's more than able to play at that musculature in the NFL. Waynes has a thin build and has put some hits on people. CBs in today's NFL are mostly about pass coverage anyway. If he's got 4.4 speed for real, this kid might be a SOD type.

Another thin build: 201 lbs.?? No way Holton Hill.

A lot of these guys beef up for the Combine.....then lose the weight/go back to their natural weight 2 months later. Thin build guys want to add weight to alleviate fears for NFL GMs. Its a game that gets played. Dantzler tried to do the same thing but he put on bad weight and it slowed his 40. I'm sure Waynes and Hill did it as well. Then your Combine becomes your forever weight in the NFL. Diggs used to tease Thielen all the time about his inflated weight and that it was about 10 lbs. heavy.
I'm just going to mention here that Dantzler was the only one to shut down LSU WR Ja'Marr Chase last year...

Look at his neck. That's 6-2, 175. A long ways from 6-0, 190, which is what Waynes is. Two inches shorter and 15 lbs heavier is a big difference.
I'm 6-2, 195 and you can see my ribs. I was 6-2, 175 in high school and I was scrawny. Put some muscle on him, some good weight, at least 190, and he can be Richard Sherman. Love the pick for the future, but I have my doubts about his early contribution.
@MaroonBells Merton Hanks called, he wants his neck back.

Didn't Hanks, Lott, and Davis all come in the same draft?
@"BarrNone55" said: Didn't Hanks, Lott, and Davis all come in the same draft?Nope. Looks like Davis in '90, Hanks in '91. And here your age is showing.... Lott was a decade before in '81. :-)
Lott, Carlton williamson, Eric wright. 1,2,3 picks for SF in 1981. All started in the SB that year.

I'm with ya Bells. He's undersized from a weight perspective, so hopefully he is working hard right now to add some muscle weight before the season. If he's unable to do that, then he will most likely be a special teams guy with some rotational opportunities. I hope i'm wrong, but it's what I'm expecting
Im positive on this guy for sure. His weight looks a little light above the waist but he was all up on the LSU guys grill and others. He uses leverage very wey well. He may be more flexible. The only issue I see is possibly his hands in catching the ball. Passes defensed are not as good as an int but they are huge so ill take it every day especially in the 3rd round. i think hes a starter year 2
