Jerraud Powers SELECTED BY: Colts Round 3 (28)

SI Grade 3.48 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Two-year starter who posted 47/2/7 as a junior after 63 tackles and four interceptions the prior year.

POSITIVES: Athletic cornerback rarely challenged by opposing signal callers. Fluid flipping his hips off the line, possesses a burst of speed, and displays a nice break to the throw. Works hard to get off blocks and comes up the field to defend running plays or screen passes. Strong at the point of attack.

NEGATIVES: Very quick out of his backpedal. Just average height, which may cause matchup problems.

ANALYSIS: Powers has been a productive player at Auburn the past three seasons, but he offers an incomplete game. He will be given a chance as a nickel or dime back at the next level, yet expect him to fall very deep into the late rounds of the draft.

PROJECTION: Fourth/Fifth Round
