I don't like that his NFL.com draft bio indicates that he is a bit slow to recognize and match patterns in man coverage.
I think that except for Lattimore, the Colts will pretty much have their pick of CBs now that Sidney Jones will tumble down (how far? Who knows?).
NFL.com has the following grades on the top CBs:
6.5 Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State
6.5 Sidney Jones, Washington (torn ACL; out for 2017)
6.1 Marlon Humphrey, Alabama
6.0 Tre'Davious White, LSU
5.9 Gareon Conley, Ohio State
5.9 Teez Tabor, Florida
5.8 Adoree' Jackson, USC
5.8 Rasul Douglas, West Virginia
5.8 Cordrea Tankersley, Clemson
Any of those guys could be 1st or top half of 2nd round picks.
Humphrey looks more like a zone guy to me.
I like White as a man corner but his run support skills are lacking.
Tabor has too much inconsistence for me.
If we pick a CB in the first round (assuming Lattimore is off the board), then I think Conley is probably the best fit for us.
Cheers,
