David Amerson set the world on fire in 2011 with 13 picks as a true sophomore and followed up with 5 more in 2012. He's a natural cornerback, but I believe he is best served by moving to safety in the pros. His speed isn't anywhere near elite, and he struggles to recover when burned. He's got great ball skills and can do a lot of damage playing a cover safety in the right defense. Overall, a potential second or third round pick who should be a solid pro.
