Which corner prospects are good fits?

[Cowboyny]

Let's rule out those big nickel hybrids, which corner prospects fit best as an outside corner, inside versatility is a plus:

Delane-considered the best zone/man CB in the class. Was recruited by our DB coach. Lacks length for the position.
McCoy-best press corner in the class. Reportedly off the Cowboy board for medical reasons. Missed the entire season.
Hood-another strong press corner. Some believe he is the best overall corner in the class. Very competitive
Terrell-has the best inside/outside versatility. Undersized, but a playmaker. Reminds me of former Cowboy Lewis.
Johnson-most believe he is the best zone corner in the class. Lacks elite speed for the position.
Cisse-twitched up athlete that is still learning the position. Has inside/outside versatility.
Abney-plays a little out of control but very competitive. Lacks the physical traits for the position.
Ponds/Rivers-undersized nickel only types
Muhammad-has all the physical traits for the position, struggles to recover and needs to add more weight

 

[Dalmations202]

Where do you put Will Lee ?

 

[Killerinstinct]

I don’t think we should use a pick on an outside corner. At least early. I know about the concerns with Revels injury and Blands foot but we have so many needs that have to be addressed. Some mid to late round guys I like are Masses, Demmings, Davis and Domani Jackson. Oh and Prysock.

Outside of McCoy I think we are talking about a bunch if guys you hope turn into quality #2 CBs.

I would prefer waiting til day 2.

That being said Chris Johnson is my guy. He checks so many boxes He is borderline bust proof the question is how high is his ceiling.

Johnson is also my favorite after the top 3.

Eagles played man 12th most in the NFL last year. Mccoy, delane, hood, cisse are the best man guys.

Can easily see Chris Johnson being a high end CB1 in a zone scheme, he’s a monster.

Hood as well in a man dominant scheme, sticks to receivers like glue

 

[LouBrown]

Literally all of them. Dallas doesn't have a starting calibre outside CB right now, regardless of scheme.

Keionte Scott is a good player. Has OK size (5'11-1/4", 193) and ran a 4.37 forty.

I have him rated above some on your list.

McCoy is the most talented (in my opinion).

Scott in my opinion is projected more as a slot than an outside corner. He had his struggles playing at corner in the past but thrived when moved to the nickel position.

McCoy is the most talented for sure, but don’t think Hood/Johnson are getting enough attention by the media scouts, really like both players. Hardest fit for me is Terrell, lack of size and then he runs a 4.6

I have Cotton Hood ranked as the 2nd best CB in this draft...

Johnson is right there with him.

Many good CB options in this draft.

It would be nice to have a 2nd round pick. Especially an early one.

Yea you dont want Scott playing outside or a bunch of man coverage in the slot. That is his biggest weakness.

If we are going to play a ton of zone and he can just attack as a nickel? Sign me up.

They brought in every possible 1st rd corner for a national visit, I think they plan on drafting a high corner, even in the 1st rd or if they land a high 2nd rd selection.

As I have mentioned in the past, they want their nickel to be a strong run defender as they planning using a light box with 2 safeties back. Now, the biggest question is how would this player be used in coverage? Think Stukes might be the best fit after Downs

I might double-dip if they had a 2nd.
- Maybe the much discussed trade down from #20 to the late 1st plus some other moves ends up with an 2nd rounder.

Revel has no fear as a run defender.

Draft McCoy and let Revel play the DeJean position.
- Physically he can do anything DeJean can do plus more.

Bland is a very good run defender / tackler and is coverage abilty vs slot WRs is well known.
- His comments about preferring not to play the slot was before the new contract.

 

[unionjack8]

Neither Bland or Revel are even remotely close to being good enough to stop me taking a true outside corner.

Without the knee injury, McCoy is probably the third best defensive player in the draft after Bailey and Reese. He reminds me alot of Surtain. So incredibly instinctive. He is pretty much Parkers dream CB. Delane is very good, and is a good fit as well. But McCoy is head and shoulders over him purely as a player.

Hood, Cisse and Johnson are potential #1 CB's we could get at 20. If we trade down and get a 2nd, Ponds would be a great get. He is Aaron Glenn to me

I like Stukes more than just about anyone as the nickel option. I just dont know if hell last til 92.

Yea if healthy and the meds are 100% McCoy is a top 5 player for me.

Obviously we dont have that insight but I would take him over most players fans are talking about hoping fall to 12. Styles, Reese, Bain, etc...
