Audition described as 'top-shelf'

Just before DeAngelo Hall jogged out for his Thursday on-campus audition in front of 80 NFL scouts, agent Joel Segal huddled one last time with his client, and offered a pithy bit of instruction to the standout Virginia Tech cornerback.

"Go give 'em a show," Segal whispered.

Demonstrating he is as adept at taking orders as he is at taking an opposition wide receiver out of his rhythm, Hall did just that.

In a workout one NFC scout described as "top-shelf," Hall likely catapulted himself to the peak of the cornerback totem pole for next month's draft. The corner spot remains a position in flux, one for which preferences could change several times between now and April 24, but Hall certainly set the bar high for the other prospects at the position.

The junior defender, who bypassed his final year of eligibility to enter the draft, had a 39-inch vertical jump and a long jump of 10 feet, 9 inches. But the clincher was an amazing time of 3.68 seconds in the "short shuttle," a drill that displays change-of-direction skills, and one that had scouts double-checking their stopwatches.

Having been clocked at 4.35 in Indianapolis last month, Hall opted to let that time stand, and bypassed the 40-yard sprint.

redskinz4ever, we don't have enough picks to "wait til later rounds". I thought, atleast. If I'm wrong, please explain our pick count.

Also, I think we should get a D-Lineman first off.

That little? Well, darn it, there goes my hopes of Shawn Andrews, Ahmad "Batman" Carroll, George Wilson, and/or Caleb Miller being drafted by the Redskins.

Most of the starting corners in the league came from the first three rounds of the draft.
