D.J. Swearinger, S, South Carolina Scouts Inc. pros: Possesses natural football instincts. Quarterback of the secondary. Understands coverage and was consistently observed lining up teammates during film study. Does a nice job in underneath zone and also holds up well versus H-back types. Plays bigger than size indicates. Reliable hands and good body control. Attacks the ball. Flashes ability to make tough diving catch over his head. Not at all afraid to mix it up. Tough and physical.

We needed depth at safety because Keo is terrible. But this is a head scratcher. Coulda had an equal talent in the 3rd round.
