Ross Cockrell

Ok so I went back just to see how our dbs were graded .... specifically Cockrell in the last season he played - per pff....Results as followed:

2017-18 season Cockrell: 81.6- Good rating

2017-18 season ..Bradberry: 40.6 -Below Average

Last year: 

Bradberry: 66.4 Above Average

Jackson: 65 Above Average

Eric Reid: 66.5 Above Average

Captain: 61.6 ... Average 

Mike Adams: 51.4 ...Below Average

Gualden (in limited snaps): 68.8 ..Unrated but according to the chart.....Above Average 

That said, that brings us to this upcoming season...we got rid of Cap and Adams, which was basically addition by subtraction.

Bradberry is in his contract year and is trending in the right direction. I just want him to look back for the ball a little more. Alot of missed opportunities.

Ross was projected to be starter last year before injury iirc so if he picks up where he left off it's possible he'll take the boundary while Donte takes the speed receivers at nickle(although I like him on the outside). Or they'll swap depending on the match up. Jackson with a year under his belt will be hard to beat for that #2 spot if he's improved on his tackling. He whiffed on around 15. 

Reid gets a full offseason to take in the defense. 

Gualden is the wild card ..but all of the above have three things playing in there favor which I'm certain will play a huge role in improving the performance of the entire unit this year. 

Eric Washington not calling plays, Perry Fewell and that front 7. Our backend might suprise some folks this year.

If they did not have plans for Cockrell, we would have taken a CB early in the draft or brought in a serious free agent.   I think they like some combination of Cockrell, Jackson, and Bradberry.  I think they like either Doss or Seymour, and I am not sure about Elder and Elliot.  I would call this a secondary that looks average at best on paper but has  a big upside.
