45 is outrageously fast. I’m in get this kid on the team now
I hope Ewald looks like the elite CB he is billed as this season. I didn't see it.
Ewald does not look like a starting P4 corner. I've seen people mention safety but he doesn't look physical either. Hoping these other CB evals win out.Admittedly I don’t know much about scouting/projecting DBs but I have been wondering why Ewald is thought of so highly? His 100 time was reported to be 11.5+, Ivins on 247 said he measured in at 5-11.5 (multiple times) 162lbs and a wingspan of 6-3.
So bad long end speed, below average height (for boundary corner), and average wingspan.
I get that he is a multi year starter at an elite program and that he has put up good numbers (6 picks and 32 PBUs as a Soph and JR). But what makes him elite and what will translate to the next level?
I’m not trying to dog the kid, I mean Harbaugh wouldn’t have taken his commitment that early if he didn’t see something. Just trying to understand the why.
To my untrained eye, Ewald reminds me of Ricky Knight from last year that signed with FSU. Both have eerily similar 100 times, size/weight, played at elite HS programs, etc. Supposedly FSU is already thinking of moving him to Safety.
I’ve watched Chaminade play a few times and I’ve never been super impressed with Ewald. He seems like a player that can make a Jaden Davis type impact while in college. He can be serviceable but imo he isn’t a high end early NFL game changing corner.Admittedly I don’t know much about scouting/projecting DBs but I have been wondering why Ewald is thought of so highly?

He's better than Jaden Davis and has more potential imo.I’ve watched Chaminade play a few times and I’ve never been super impressed with Ewald.

Here’s the hard truth we all know where we want to be and to get to that stage you need Ben Hanks and DJ Pickett. Ewald would be a solid CB 3 or CB 4 in the class. Then you stack guys at that same level of Hanks and Pickett next class. That allows you to let Ewald sink or swim.
He's better than Jaden Davis and has more potential imo.
CJ will be 6'0+ 180 his freshman year with alot of growth potential weight wise.
He isnt afraid to mix it up.
Hes a for sure cb3-4 type i agree and i'm probably the most bias for him on here.
To me at minimum you have to land one of Hanks or Pickett (if u see picket as a cb prospect). If Pickett is a safety..a guy like Dixson from Cali, Merritt (bama), Gilbert
I think Cox and Aiding, Adonyss Currie should be fighting it out for that final spot...Im in the opinion you bring in 4 cbs in this class..Load p flipping the room
DJ had like freakish length though. But i can see maybe somewhat in play style.I’m firmly on the 4 corner train this cycle. I’ve heard people way closer to Ewald than I am compare him to DJ Ivey.i wanna be very clear id love for him to be in this class we just need to pair him with at least one other big fish preferably 2
Would like to run this back now.Hanks, Wallace, Cox. Plus Pickett obviously and one of:
Adoniss Currie
Trystan Haynes
Tim Merritt
Mason Alexander
Shamari Earls
Jaboree Antoine
Please & thank you @Chevis Jackson.

Yea you pair CJ with a big dog and let him develop. Hes not a plug n play right now but he has high floor in my opinion.
I think it's a loss if Ewald is the prize of the DB class.Ewald does not look like a starting P4 corner. I've seen people mention safety but he doesn't look physical either. Hoping these other CB evals win out.
