It's looking like Searcy, a practice squad player, is going to beat out Cockrell. Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's not. If our first team gets torched in preseason, we can only hope they learn enough to get torched less against dallas. Thank god they only have Hurns and that's a matchup that Jackson can do b/c Hurns is short.

As others have pointed out Searcy and Cockrell play different positions. As for Cockrell versus Seymour, I expect both to contribute this year. If Seymour can play fast this year and use his 4.3 speed he will get his fair share of reps this year. Cockrell is an established starter with almost 60 games of starting experience. He is going to be our best corner this year.

I think Cockrell will start. He is very underrated. He supposed to be a great zone CB which is what the panthers run. I would be really surprised if Bradberry doesn’t start. I know he struggled last year but he is still young and in my opinion has a lot of potential.

 

something very intriguing about Seymour is that he has a 4.39 40 time. Add that to his 6ft frame and that gives him starting corner physical ability.

 

I think the bottom half of our CB unit will be very interesting. We have Munnerlyn who has the experience but struggled last year and has a big contract with a few years still left on it. Luke Cole who made the team last year. Corn Elder who we drafted last year but was injured and we also have Lorenzo Doss who has had a great preseason and could end up being a gem. After all he was buried on the depth chart in Denver behind 3 pro bowl cbs. Ladarius Gunter has size but I don’t see us keeping him.

we also just drafted Donte Jackson who is a lock to make the team. So we know Cockrell, Bradberry, Jackson and Seymour are basically locks. That leaves Munnerlyn, Elder, Doss and Cole fighting for the 5th CB spot. With all the talent on this team I see a hard time justifying keeping 6 cornerbacks. I could be wrong but I think cutting Munnerlyn will be hard because of his contract. So we may end up cutting last years 5th round pick Corn Elder. It’s only speculation at this point and there is always a chance that an injury occurs but it looks like we could be cutting some good players at cornerback.
