Derwin James - DB - Seminoles
FSU redshirt sophomore S Derwin James announced that he will declare for the 2018 NFL Draft.

 In his Instagram post announcing the news, James also stated that he will not participate in the Independence Bowl against Southern Miss. James was a bright spot in an otherwise dreary season for the Seminoles, posting 84 tackles, 5.5 TFL, two interceptions, one sack, and one defensive touchdown. He was the only FSU player named first-team all-ACC this season. James is considered by most to be the class' top safety, just ahead of Minkah Fitzpatrick (Alabama). A great pre-draft process could get James into the top-five. Barring his medicals turning up something unseemly, the top-15 looks like his floor. James missed almost all of the 2016 season upon tearing cartilage in his left knee.

Better then Ramsey, whom I thought had All Pro potential as a Safety and has turned into a pretty darn good CB.

And yes, I'm ecstatic about the Taggert hire. Thanks for asking ;(

FSU seems to have definitely taken a stand of sorts. What's going on down there FSU Vike?
