Serviceable zone CBs are a dime a dozen. Like non-pass rushing LBs who are liabilities in coverage. We just didn't get the memo on that latter one.

It depends how you define "serviceable." I don't think any team with SB aspirations would want a player of Cockrell's caliber getting any meaningful snaps. It's one thing to have him as a depth guy in case of injury to fill in but if you have to rely on him to play even 25% of the snaps, your secondary is in trouble to some degree.

He also looked better here because the people around him looked worse. The league value for him was obviously pretty low.

That's basically what I mean by serviceable. You don't want to have to play him but he won't be a massive liability if you do. His main issue is low ceiling. There's no potential factor there to entice.

      Trevor Lawrence available next year?

      This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By BritishPanther · Posted

      Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.

      Downfield Disparity

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
