Secondary - Reminder

[davos]

The Breeland situation seems to have gotten everyone excited and then deflated pretty quickly this offseason...which is why I believe people are downplaying the Ross Cockrell signing.  I want to break down a few parts in the secondary:

James Bradberry 

Is the first outside guy to mention who now has a few seasons under his belt with a sophomore struggle but he can come out of the slump.  He's not a ballhawk but is a solid CB to have with great length.  Don't forget, 6'1.  

Ross Cockrell

We got a 6'0"+ 26 year old outside corner on a multi-year deal who is coming off a solid 50+ tackle season with 3 picks.  Furthermore, the fans really liked him and there's plenty to see in his game.  He is so much better than Worley and Seymour, it ain't even funny.

Donte "Action" Jackson

Projected as a late-1st/early 2nd by many, 5'11, can play in the slot and outside.  Fastest player in the draft is always a plus and is IN-GAME QUICK.  Instant starting NB who will play 40% of our snaps given how our defense is structured.  I don't think people are realizing that. 

Corn Elder

I'm really high on him but don't forget to temper expectations; he was a 5th round pick.  Great upside and with now being healthy, will compete for KR/PR duties.  Can easily roll into the slot if Cockrell or Bradberry go down and Jackson slides to the outside. He's pretty much is like an extra draft pick this year.  

Kevon Seymour

We just traded for him last year and he didn't look bad.  Outmuscled and out of his element at times but he's a solid roster backfill at 6'0.  

Captain Munnerlyn

He may end up getting cut, but at least you know what you get with him.  

Ladarius Gunter

An athletic 6'2 200 corner who may or may not make the roster.

And the draft isn't even over yet.  Sooooo...

If/when Munnerlyn gets cut, we'll have 2 solid NFL starter quality guys on the outside and a group with only Elder and Jackson sub-6'0".  One happens to have lightning speed and the other is an electric return man.  Looking at this group, this idea that we only have small NBs is ridiculous.  It's actually well rounded and we got a really promising talent in Jackson.  I could do a little spotlight on him, but I'll leave that to someone else, not trying to write a book.

Adios.

I’ve been saying Cap’n will be a June 1st cut for a while. Save a decent chunk this year with that designation. + Sheppard and we can sign some vets to supplement this excellent rookie class.

That’s great and all.

Now do the safety position

Cole Luke too iirc

CJ Anderson available ...

[Captain Morgan]

we may hold onto Captain just for some experience and leadership

When we drop munnerlyn, I'll say corner is pretty solid, it's both safety spots I'm worried about, you neglected to mention them in your post OP
