While I agree with the general idea of this post, in the case of Lymon he is solidly built. And he has great instincts on the back end. He isn't one of those kids that will need 2 years in a college S&C program before he gets going, or 2 years learning the position. His issue is height/length and that his developmental ceiling is low compared to the top flight guys, but male no mistake, he isn't one of these scrawny South Florida DB who hasn't hit the weight room.
He's almost certainly behind national guys like Wilson and Branch on our board, and maybe even a little lower than that. But this kid can play and most years would be a take at safety. Problem is we aren't taking more than 2 safeties and may end up taking just 1. As a plan B/C kid, we could do a lot worse.
I'm very familiar with him as a player, I never said he was scrawny or even really to small to play here. He could play here and be good, its just if there's two players with similar attributes but one is bigger, you take the bigger one. That means a height, length, strength advantage which are things you can't teach. If we would like to get towards a championship level of recruiting we have to start landing players that have the ability and the size advantage. And also just in general landing the targets on top of the recruiting board. That's all I was saying.
