He's not Philip Gaines bad, but he's not "good", either.
There are 60 starting CBs in this league. Closer to 80 when you look at the amount of Nickel being run and injury needs.

Ward is in that top 40-50 range. He's not a lock-down guy but he's a solid player. If he's the weakest link on your defense, you've got a pretty damn good defense.

Oh I know he's not the worst in the league, but it feels like he's definitely the guy the other QB's / OC's target the most.

Am I just crazy, or is there room for improvement at that spot next offseason?

Well someone has to be. And for most teams, that guy's gonna be a genuine liability (as the Ravens last night).

For us and maybe a half-dozen other teams in the league, he really isn't.

I can live with that.

And I hope you can as well because the odds are pretty good that we're weaker at CB2 next season after Ward walks than we're gonna be with him this season. Legit boundary corners don't grow on trees and they don't come cheap. Nor do they develop quickly. I wouldn't expect a meaningful expenditure there especially with the needs we'll have on the DL.
