2015 NFL Draft: Top five ball-hawking DB prospects (4. Ifo Ekpre-Olomu, Oregon:  Ekpre-Olomu tore knee ligaments last December and hasn't been able to do much for his draft stock during "draft season," but while a serious knee injury can cost a player a step, it won't cost him any of the field awareness that helped make him a Thorpe Award finalist. His size is also a concern for NFL scouts, such that his NFL future probably lies in a nickelback role rather than as an outside corner. But at nickelback, his anticipation skills could serve him even better.  NFL fit: Detroit Lions. NFL Media's Lance Zierlein sees a need for a cornerback who can handle a slot receiver in Teryl Austin's defense. Ekpre-Olomu could be just the right man for the job.):   http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000485118/article/2015-nfl-draft-top-five-ballhawking-db-prospects
