Two other CB's worth noting, too: D'Joun Smith/FAU and

Quinten Rollins/Mia-OH. IMO, both will go 2nd/3rd rounds

Really like the Whitner comparison for Landon Collins . He's

best when playing downfield in the box. Coverage needs

work, but man he can hit.

Landon Collins ’ weaknesses from Walterfootball.com : - Can

get burned in man coverage - Lacks versatility to play deep

free safety

Landon Collins is a solid prospect, but is a carbon copy of Mark Barron, not elite in terms of coverageability and range.

College Scout with GM Jr Scouting Josh Liskiewitz @JoshLiskiewitz

Watching some Landon Collins now - the difference between

his instincts in coverage and Clinton-Dix's is night and day

Struggles in coverage and in space. I feel like we need the opposite of that. I want a safety that can play center-field and excel in coverage. He's an upgrade over what we have back there, but maybe won't produce the way we hope as quickly as some other picks at 25 may. As flawed as it may be, with the tacklers we have in our front seven (particularly Luke and Davis) I feel like I undervalue a box/physical safety. Still hoping we actually invest in one of the better corners or safeties in free agency as opposed to drafting one early on.

We need a safety who can cover.

    • I mean, if Moore really wants out, then it would behoove the Bears to make it happen sooner than later. X is a lot younger and cheaper, and may be a better fit for Johnson's musings than a disgruntled, unnecessary, overpaid vet. If they can dump his salary and maybe get a fourth or so in return, it may be worth it to them. As for development, I'm not concerned. You're talking about a seeming bust, a day three guy and a UDFA. They are developing relative to their ceilings. I doubt any of them will ever command the coverage, money, or the respect that Moore has acquired. He's a tier above them. Yes, even X. 
    • IMO, if Ceedee plays against us, the game probably goes the other way. Same with Tyreek Hill and the Dolphins. Our team just isn't designed to beat teams with two high level receivers like that. But when you look at the league, how many teams really have two guys of that caliber?  There's nothing wrong with defensive adjustments, but sometimes I think a lot of fans want Evero to call a different play like a game on madden, and defensive football just isn't like that. That said, I thought we did a much better job this season against the Cowboys of flipping Jaycee and at least making them work for it, opposed to last season when they literally just lined CeeDee up on the other side of the field every single snap.  For us to just straight up switch to consistent man coverage, or a different zone, or whatever, we likely would consistently need different personnel on the field. Doing it a few times a game is a gamble and can work, but if we consistently run man coverage against the Cowboys, eventually a RB is going to beat a linebacker, or something of that nature with our personnel. Part of the reason Evero likes this scheme is that, while we have our defaults and presets, what we do is very multiple, and you can do a lot of different things pre and post snap. We are a challenging defense to read. But as you said, if guys are getting beat, it doesn't really matter what you call.
