Apr 3, 2017 at 6:14 AM
Since a lot of people are talking about how we need to upgrade CB I wanted to create a thread about this draft class.

It's crazy how deep it is at CB....please feel free to post any CBs in here.

Here's some names with a little info on each

Jourdan Lewis, Ahkello Witherspoon, Teez Tabor, Desmond King(I still see a corner)
Apr 3, 2017 at 7:27 AM
Ahkello Witherspoon, CB Colorado – 6'3" 198lbs – He shut down John Ross? Check. Production: Second-Team All-Pac-12, Measurables: 4.45 40yard, 40.5" vertical, 4.13 shuttle. Tall, fast, jumps out of the building - Remind anyone of a corner that does well in this scheme? In fact, that's who he is compared to. And like him, he will be under-drafted.

13 passes broken up in 2016 tied him at No. 1 in the nation.

time to make up for it...tons of studs in this draft!

Chidobe Awuzie, CB, Colorado 6'0, 202

Linebacker like stats with 3 INTs, 8 sacks, 4 forced fumbles and 150 tackles in the last 2 years alone. Ideal slot corner who can man up outside.

Afraid to tackle. Like he's not Hooker who takes bad angles, dude is backpedaling like hell when someone comes his way.

A little tough on the guy in run support. I'd expect that's something that he'll get better at. "Good in run support" is a nice thing to say about a corner, no doubt. But I'd rather hear something like this:

"Opposing QBs only had a lowly 50.9 QB rating when throwing into WItherspoon's coverage in 2016."
