No doubt that he is a solid prospect. Where he lands will depend on the fortunes of the Draft gods. It's WAY too early to forecast how these things will shake out, as there is just too much information yet to be uncovered. Lots of work yet, and lots of interviews, people to talk to, etc., etc.... He is a big, powerful dude for sure. And pretty fast as well.
I'm following six Big Boards that are all pretty reputable. Right now --- Emmanwori is definitely a Top-10 Defensive back. He is probably a Top-5 Safety (maybe Top-3 ). His average overall draft position is somewhere between the bottom third of the 1st round and the top third of the 2nd round. I've seen him as high as #24 overall and as low as #42 overall. AND, of course, there are the occasional outliers that have him higher and lower, but not as a consensus...
So definitely a solid prospect, but not at #8 ... at least not right now. These boards move around with players sliding downward and others rising as more information becomes available and players talk to scouts, and scouts talk to coaches, etc., etc.
