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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.

      Who says no to the following.  Trade KK and Morrow for a draft pick of some sort.  Sign the following:  Bennett 8m AAV Ekblad 8m AAV Boeser 7.5m AAV Marner 13m AAV Cap numbers work after the trade of KK and Morrow.
