Justin Tryon profile

For what we need at Corner, he's a good pick.

He's not the be all end all here by any stretch of the imagination, we will need to fill Springs' shoes next season, but I'm OK with Tryon at nickel until Rogers can get healthy.

The PAC-10 doesn't have any receivers over 6'.....did you read the analysis:

The former junior college transfer instantly became ASU's top cover cornerback, starting all 26 games during his two seasons with the Sun Devils. He proved to be an effective run support defender who simply loved the challenge of taking on receivers much bigger than him. In 2007, his main pass coverage assignments featured four receivers who stood at least 6-feet-4 and five who were 220 pounds or more.

The 5-9 cornerback allowed the opposition to complete just 31.13 percent of the passes thrown into his area during his final campaign (33-of-106). Tryon was just as capable of covering the top receiver on deep routes, but also excelled in press coverage, rerouting his man away from 54 potential catches, in addition to breaking up or intercepting 19 other throws. He allowed a miniscule 3.74 yards per pass attempt vs. him as a senior.

I like the pick, fills a major need IMO. Kid looks like he has excellent potential.

That was a good breakdown. He seems to be a little better than I thought, but I still believe we reached a little for him, we probably could have easily gotten him in the 5th or 6th.

Westbrook was not that bad and I expect him to look even better this yr. I think the 3; Torrence, Westbrook, and Eubanks will have to step it up this yr.

I'll bet watching Laws and Harrison go right before our picks had something to do with getting him here.

I like the pick. He reminds me of darrent williams.

SBXVII

Dixon? ...Have you read Pro-Footballs take on him? My mag said character issues, so I went to the Pro Prospects Review. They don't paint a pretty picture of him.

I am liking this pick alot more now that I researched it a little.

This quote made me laugh out loud.

Tryon is a good fit for our defensive scheme as a Nickel CB, hopefully he can develop into a #3 or #2 CB down the road. The only problem I have with this pick is that I think we reached for him, we probably could have got him in later rounds.
