[QUOTE="IlliniFaninHoosierLand, post: 1538377, member: 85743"] Here's the NFL.com draft info on Vildor: [b][u]Draft Projection[/u][/b] Round 5 [b][u]Overview[/u][/b] He's a little slender and his speed is average, but Vildor possesses good athletic ability with the man cover talent to stay near his target. He does a nice job of challenging throws effectively when he's in position thanks to his length and timing, but he'll need to improve his route recognition and anticipation as a pro. He can be too passive and ineffective as a tackler, which will be a non-starter for certain NFL teams. Vildor has the ability to challenge for a CB4/CB5 spot for man-cover defenses.
