The Arizona Cardinals add an athletic safety with their first pick in round four.
The Arizona Cardinals add a safety from Texas Tech with their first pick on day three in Dadrion Taylor-Demerson.
From Dane Brugler’s “The Beast”:
Outstanding straight-line speed to unlock and go with an invisible jetpack … terrific range to make plays at the numbers after starting center-cut … ball skills are solid and takes advantage of passes thrown right at him (above-average ball production) … plays with widescreen vision and a developed feel for route combinations … makes up for wasted steps with his foot quickness … has tackling toughness and is at his best when he keeps his pads low… Taylor-Demerson lined up as a free safety in defensive coordinator Tim DeRuyter’s 3-3-5 scheme, playing to the field side in two-high looks. An All-State running back in high school, he moved to defense for the first time in his life at Texas Tech and developed into a rangy ballhawk, leading the Red Raiders in interceptions each of the last three seasons. With his field speed, Taylor-Demerson (who goes by his nickname “Rabbit”) covers a lot of ground, anticipates routes well and naturally plays the football.
A slightly inexperienced safety who had 33 passes defensed and 10 intercetions his final three seasons at Texas Tech.
Taylor-Demerson is another elite, freak athlete and his time as a running back shows in his physical style of play.
This is an exciting addition to the Arizona Cardinals roster.
Welcome to the desert, Dadrion.
