    Strengths
    Verner possesses adequate size and good athleticism for the cornerback position making him very capable in coverage. He’s been a highly durable player during his career at UCLA. Verner displays impressive instincts and competitiveness in coverage and in run support. Has shown leadership skills at the college level.

    Weaknesses
    He can struggle on the perimeter in run support where he’s an inconsistent wrap tackler. Lack of bulk doesn’t help here either. In coverage, Verner has a tendency to be inconsistent with his pad level in his back peddle. Overall technique needs work.

    Stupid pick IMO. Alot better CB talent on the board still. Hope he proves me wrong.

    Very unimpressive.

    Definitely a reach while better prospects were on the board- much like most our players we drafted.

    56 busted passes and 13 picks in 51 games. Undersized and not great speed. tough kid. Finny mark 2?

    I remember him against the Vols.. He came off as a decent CB.

    I wish we knew a year in advanced on who we were going to get in the draft, that way we could really study the specific players :)

    I am on the west coast and an Oregon fan. This kid is a good player and I am happy to have him on the team. I know a lot of you east coasters hate on the Pac 10, and I think that plays into some of your feelings about a kid like this, but he is solid and I think he will make an excellent pro.

    I like the pick as i like all of our picks because its what the team decides is the best decision.

    One thing that concerns me with this kid is the only picks i see him get is when he is jumping the route. He may be easy for other teams to exploit with stop and go routes.
