there is no better candidate than PP7
I have to agree with you there. A defensive back who can lockdown the opposing team's best WR, make big plays on D, and be a big factor in the kickoff/punt return game is deserving of the #1 pick.

I absolutely love PP7. I obviously would be happy to see him #1. He is the closest thing to Deion Sanders (combo lockdown corner/dynamic return abilty) I have ever seen.
Unfortunately, while CB's can imapct the game, they can be avoided by just running the ball or throwing to other areas. Same thing with kick returning: simply just don't kick it to him. On defense, pass rushing DE's & DT's can't be avoided. CB's can be effectively gameplanned against for the most part. Teams mainly build around QB's and pass-rushers, not cornerbacks. That's why none has ever been drafted #1 overall.
Even Deion Sanders was drafted behind Troy Aikman, Tony Mandarich, Barry Sanders, & Derrick Thomas. But it'd be nice if someone finally takes a flier on a potential Darrell Revis/Devin Hester combo CB/plamaker.

If PP#7 transitions to the NFL well as a lockdown CB, there is no chance in hell a team will put him out for returns.
Darrelle Revis was a gifted returner at Pitt, but it will always be "secondary" to CB. If he gets hurt, it should be out there covering someone, not returning a kick...
