What are the chances that Cheeto will end up a player without a firm position?

[Verdict]

What are the chances that he will end up a player without a firm position and wash out as a draft bust? Could Lewis or Switzer end up being the bright star of this draft class?

If Wilcox was able to be utilized in our scheme for 4 years, then none of these rookies will have an issue.

I'd say chances are low he doesn't end up with a prominent role in the secondary given the talk about him already.

I hate Cheetos so very much now

Let's wait until training camp is over first.

The marketing could be huge for Chido, just envision this for a moment.
Chidobe strikes a deal with Frito Lay, the producer of "Cheetos." , and a commercial is made.
In the commercial, Chido runs up and smacks a WR so hard that he leaves a cloud of Orange Cheeto dust .
You know, like that orange Cheeto dust that sticks to your fingers when you eat a Cheeto.
Cheeto might even become so famous that he evokes such titles as.... "Agent Orange".

His probability of success is high. One of the safest picks in the draft.

He was a rock solid college player with the required size, speed and demonstrated intelligence. I would have been happy to get him in the first so I'm amazed they got him in the 2nd.

He has what they call a high floor. Some other CBs might have projected to have higher ceilings, but none had higher floors.

If you could design a Tampa 2 CB in a lab, he'd come out like Chido. He's the type of corner Kiffin, Dungy and Rod had in mind when running that defense all those years. We're not a true Tampa 2 D, but it's influence is still heavily apparent in many of our packages and overall scheme.

The floor on Chido is an upper echelon nickel CB, when he's allowed to play underneath he's as good as they come. The talk of moving him to safety is interesting because the lines are blurred between your down safety and slot CB in base nickel sets.

Bottom line, he fits this defense to a T and should be a cornerstone piece no matter where they decide to use him.

Pfff, what obscure metrics are you using? Most say he's got a 8-9% chance....max.

He's a prototype zone corner. They are playing at different spots because a) he can handle it and b) they are trying to get him on the field.

Dynamic players allow for dynamic playcalls. Marinelli and Eberflus are going to be able to disguise/roll coverage and blitz, twist and stunt on any down.

People that act like that playing players at multiple spots is a bad thing only limit upside. Sure some player fail but if the succeed then they are elite.

Lets revisit this after 10 games.

 

[ActualCowboysFan]

Might...and I say this with great reluctance, might be a little early to maken that determination right now.

 

[GORICO]

the only way Chido is not successful will be do to injury.....he will start this year and more than just slot db....most of our backfield is versatle...so they all will be interchanging different spots as the scheme of defense warrants....i love how the cowboys just dumped their backfield because it was not going to get any better...and drafted some real good players that will make our backfield a strength not a liability

Somewhere below 1%.

Insufficient data

More like a Player with several firm positions. Lewis as well; albeit to a lesser extent. Potentially the two best DBs in the entire 2017 class. Both on the same team.

In the end, Cheeto might be our answer at Strong Safety this year replacing Church and Lewis on the outside opposite Brown replacing Carr/Mo.
