When you watch the film on the games without Sean Smith, it wasn't as bad overall as you might think.
Fleming got burned in man coverage vs Denver, but he was a good tackler to his credit. I think he does need to have things in front of him to do better overall like he showed in 2014.
Marcus Cooper was a complete disaster out there. My god that guy sucks so much. seeing him get raped by Rodgers was bad enough. Dude gave up 2 TD's that game.
It just seems like depth was our biggest issue bc Gaines was actually pretty good. Yeah he tore his ACL when he gave up a TD but besides that he looked solid.
It woukdnt surprise me at all to see Dorsey skip CB round 1 and trust Peters/Gaines/Nelson. I know Nelson didn't play much last year, but I believe a big part of that was bc Fleming and Cooper had experience opening the season and then Nelson needed to adjust.
But if they do want a CB, it's gotta be someone capable of covering the slot really well. IMO Jackson and Alexander seem like the best choices to cover that role from our pick at 28.
But is there really a huge dropoff if we chose a guy like Maurice Canady in round 2?
