    With the 113th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Oakland Raiders select Ohio State DB Chimdi Chekwa. An athletic college cornerback with the physical skills necessary to start in the NFL, Chekwa is quick flipping his hips off the line, mixes it up with receivers throughout routes, and displays a burst of speed bearing down on the play. Easily runs with opponents anywhere on the field, works hard to break up throws, and is a solid open-field tackler. Voluntarily comes up the field to defend running plays and screens and throws his body around the action. Chekwa has shown flashes of shutdown ability since his sophomore campaign yet never really put together a complete game. To this point he still remains a better athlete than football player, but his athleticism coupled with a flashes of talent shown in the past make him enticing prospect.

  3. I took him for the Raiders in the third round......felt he should've gone higher than DVD because of his production.

    Classic Raiders pick.
