Hopefully Ward is a monster for us. Saw an article where they ranked CB duos and put them into tiers...ours was listed as Tier 5 aka "lacks star power. Each of the teams within this grouping have two CB2s who can compete and play like a CB1 on their best days, but often regress back to their high-end CB2 mold. The New York Jets with rookie Sauce Gardner have the highest potential to immediately ascend from this tier."
I expect our guys to step up and make names for themselves.
I would have put the 49ers in tier 6. CWard seems to be a solid/good CB2. I think Moseley is average and Ambry Thomas is still a question mark - good potential, but far from proven. So I'm encouraged that article put the 49ers duo in tier 5. Verrett is a total question mark due to not knowing how well he has recovered. If we get 2020 Verrett, then I would put a duo of CWard/Verrett in tier 2 because 2020 Verrett was a star.
If you look at the guys they have in the same tier it's not right IMO. Hell if you look at the tier above you can argue our guys should be there or better even.
I think Ward is just coming into his own and coming into a defense with a terrific front 7 to help him look even better. Moseley isn't a big name but he played very well last season. Just because they're not big name guys doesn't mean they're not talented.
I mean they have the Lions in tier 4 with Amani Oruwariye and Jeff Okudah...what have those guys proven? Okudah looked like a major disappointment as a rookie and then f'ed up his achilles year 2. Not a great start.
I realize i'm likely being somewhat of a homer but seeing stuff like that just annoys me.
