Everyone talks about his 40 time, but he was also top ten in vertical jump and broad jump. Definitely a very athletic DB they're going to try and coach up. [Reply]

First off, we need secondary depth. Sneed is a phenomenal athlete and I have a strong feeling they're gonna give him a hard look at gunner on ST's. We signed that blazer from the NYG and pairing him up with Sneed on the opposite side may give us the fastest tandem in the NFL. [Reply]
No surprise as a Louisiana guy, L'Jarius Sneed is looking forward to playing with Tyrann Mathieu. Admires the way he plays and is looking forward to learning from him.
I’m not hating on this pick, but somebody please explain to me why Amik Robertson was not picked instead of Sneed? They are on the same team and Robertson was far more productive than Sneed. Yes I get that he is small, but he still would fit a position of need especially if they are talking Sneed moving to corner, albeit, probably the outside corner deployment.
Is this a matter of Robertson not measuring up to some of the baseline requirements for Spags? Because production wise it is not that close between these two players. Robertson had a lot more tackles over the past three years, along with interceptions and pass breakups.
