Wanted to get something out there on my take on the top Ranked CB prospects. Was going to wait until I did all of them but not sure if I will get to the others. If I do I will put up who I like beyond the 1st round if I get that chance. This is how I rank them based on info I gathered and watching them.
Tier 1 with a trade up or falling to us
1. Sauce Gardner-
Strengths: Elite talent kit; Long levers allows him to play man press and dictate control and slather WRs at the catch point. Will go up and get the ball at its highest point. Swag
Weaknesses: He tries but needs work on tackling, Average tackler but with his size could improve in that area, nitpick lateral quickness though his long arms helps with that issue.
Summary- See I wish we would have lost to the Bears. That would have given us a better chance at him. I see a day 1 starter a potential top of the league CB down the road. Chance to be special and a ALL-Pro. Pretty safe pick would be the perfect pick up for us.
2. Derek Stingley JR.-
Strengths: Combination of agility, body control and ball skills.. Possesses the best ball skills in this class grade A IMO. Nice closing speed who I think will work in man or zone and even play slot. High ceiling!
Weakness: Due to injury he also has a low floor, I haven't seen the top shelf ability since 2019 and he has barely played the last 2 years. How willing is he to tackle?
Summary- Boom or Bust potential. I lean toward boom obviously as I have him #2 at CB. I do get the concern and it is worrisome and legit if we passed I would understand. But I see if healthy a top tier CB.
