Draft Prospect - CB Trumaine Johnson (Montana)


Name: Trumaine Johnson
Position:  Cornerback
School: Montana
Where the Pats Should Draft Him: 2nd
Analysis:
Trumaine Johnson is a big corner. He is listed somewhere between 6'2" and 6'3". Which is about the same height as Dre Kirkpatrick, but he is a good 20 lbs heavier; and it shows. In 33 games with the Grizz, Trumaine had 13 interceptions and 23 pass breakups. His 40 time was a little slow for a corner, 4.61, but that is understandable given his size and comes in within the top free safeties. He was a three sport athlete in high school and puts his leaping skills on display when making those picks. Montana frequently sent him on cornerback blitzes to pressure the quarterback and had a good success rate if he was blocked by a running back, as opposed to a tight end or tackle. Trumaine's skill allow him make the transition to free safety and would be a prime candidate to line up against an athletic tight end.
