Strengths
World-class football character. Unmatched versatility. Has experience playing every spot in the secondary. Top-end instincts at nickel and box safety. Elite cover man in the slot. Great ball skills and vision. Always in the right place in zone coverage. Speed and intelligence allows him to cover the entire field as a single-high safety. Has the length and natural ability to be a productive perimeter corner. Can take away talented receiving tight ends. Will take on blockers and make the tackle. Effective blitzer. Perfected his technique under Nick Saban.
Weaknesses
Doesn’t possess elite explosiveness. Could struggle as a full-time, man-to-man cornerback.
NFL Comparisons
Malcolm Jenkins – Tyrann Mathieu – Nnamdi Asomugha
Conclusion
Fitzpatrick’s overall skillset makes him a low-risk pick at the top of the draft, and he will hold both himself and his teammates accountable at the next level. I would want to use him in a variety of ways as a do-it-all safety.
Interesting.. I like that Asomugha comparison if he plays corner
Really like him
He’s a solid player for sure. Versatile.
Whoever gets him is getting a Pro Bowler!
Bucs please
all around db
best overall player in the draft
