Keep having my attention drawn back to him. Couple scouting links from Raiders, Jets fans :
Raider Fit: All things considered, Woods’ versatility versus the run and pass could aid in the Raiders in numerous ways. Teams like the Cardinals, Washington, or Panthers employ college safeties as linebackers. While smaller, these athletes can cover, play the run and blitz with speed. Woods’ can operate in that arena. He is a second/third day pick that adds immediate depth. Also, if strictly used as a safety, Woods is a suitable heir apparent to Reggie Nelson (https://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/8275/).

He's not a first round talent, but his ability to move around and play different positions while making plays on the ball will get him drafted soon enough. Woods is a guy I'd really like the Jets to take a long hard look at.

Could be a good value pick in later rounds, if paired with an FA vet should they choose that path, would seem to fit the T-2 mold nicely.
