6-2, 190 lbs. CBS have him ranked as the 73rd overall prospect.
I like Sidney Jones, Codrea Tankersley and Tre'davious White with 33. However, Douglas sounds a little like Trumaine Johnson in terms of smaller school background?
1. Rasul Douglas, CB, West Virginia
The buzz is mounting for Douglas, who ranks 17th in the nation with an 86.1 overall grade. At 6-foot-2, 190 pounds, Douglas has intriguing size and the production to back it up, as he’s only allowed 31 catches on 68 targets while intercepting six passes and breaking up five more. Opponents have a passer rating of 33.3 when throwing into his coverage, best in the nation among corners who have seen at least 50 targets.
Perhaps most impressive is how well Douglas has played despite of the amount of pressure the West Virginia secondary is put under, as its 3-3-5 scheme calls for three or fewer rushers on 50 percent of dropbacks — by far the highest percentage in the nation. They put little pressure on the quarterback, so Douglas and the rest of the West Virginia defense has to cover much longer than usual. Keep an eye on him this weekend against Oklahoma’s passing attack, which is led by Heisman candidates QB Baker Mayfield and WR Dede Westbrook.
The more I read, the more I like and I would be surprised if analytics won't have him highly rated if he can post some decent combine numbers.
Intriguing size. Production. Words keep appearing in articles. 8 interceptions in 2016.

He wasn't targetted much and made a great pick - he was shadowing Dede Westbrook a lot I think?
Now, having watched very little film, have no idea how he translates athletically but a DB with these measurables and production stands out. Have read projections of a 4.5 40 time. Any views on him? Will he last to our 3rd rd pick?
