This guy was getting plenty of hype on here last year before the injury.  And it seemed it was assumed he was going to be the starting CB across from Bradberry.

Unless I've missed it.  But there hasnt been much coverage of him at all.  I dont think I heard his name mentioned at all in OTA's

 

@Jeremy Igo @RoaringRiot or anyone who has sources that were at OTA's.  Did anyone catch how he was looking conditioning wise and hiw he looked in coverage/drills?

 

If he can return back to what we expected him to be, thatd be big.  Especially considering putsode of Bradberry and Jackson.  The CBs are a big question mark

He has been running with the ones and looks good. Glad to see him back. That was a nasty break. Can still hear it.

Who's spot has he been taking with the 1's?  Bradberry or Jackson's?  Or has he been on with the 1s specifically in nickel packages with the other 2.

Both. There is a ton of subs in OTAs. He has also lined up at nickel

After watching Captain just kill us last year.  If Cockrell can come back to full form.  That trio gives me real hope with this defense.  

Feels like 2015 when we had a 

A CB coming off a big rookie season (Bene was rated the top rookie CB his rookie year).  Jackson is coming off a big season

A #1 CB going into a contract season wearing #24

A 3rd solid vet CB while Cockrell isnt quiet Peanut comparison.  He's been in for a minute

Cockrell just may be a reason why Gaulden probably really needs to lock down the safety spot to secure his future. 

Cockrell might just turn the whole CB group upside down (in a good way). Competition is a good thing! I'm sure that he has designs on starting. It will be interesting to see what transpires.

I'd love to see us run more match up coverage this year, whether it's in the form of man coverage or match up zone. Especially with the Bradbury/Jackson combo. Bradbury excels against bigger WRs where Jackson has the speed to match up with the burners, but at the same time, if you play those guys as pure LCB/RCB it's pretty easy for the opposition to create match up problems for us.

    • Would absolutely love to have him. I dont think he would require more than a 5th rounder. The biggest thing with his contract is the amount of guaranteed money. As long as they can work out and scenario where the Panthers aren't on the hook for a lot of that, I think it's a no-brainer. The Panthers can come up with $20M at the drop of a hat with restructuring Moton's contract, so there definitely isn't an issue from a money perspective. Jaycee paired with Ramsey along with Mike Jack would give us one of the best CB groups in the league. The one caveat I see is that safety still remains our biggest current weakness. We need a starting caliber S more than CB, simply put. But adding someone like Ramsey would be amazing as long as the compensation made sense. Ramsey could also play for FS snaps also. I also dont understand this nonsense about being seasons away. We have a QB on a rookie deal who was playing at an elite level to end last season. Within reason, now is absolutely the time to make moves like trading for Ramsey.
    • He'd be a huge upgrade for this year, but we're still not going to be contenders with him and I'd rather keep the cap space to roll into next season to spend on a younger player who can be an impact starter for us for the next 3-5 years while we're hoping to contend.
    • Because playoff hockey and regular season hockey aren’t the same thing.  It’s a combination of the game intensity being dialed up with loose officiating.
