Mayock: Marshon Lattimore 'can be Aqib Talib' - NFL Videos

|Mitch| · 04-28-2017, 01:42 PM

Sources Tell Us "I've studied the top cornerbacks coming out and he's the best I've seen. He's so athletic that he can just post up under the receiver's chin and shadow him all over the field. And he's tough, too. He'll be one of the top cornerbacks pretty quickly." -- Pro personnel director for AFC team

NFL Comparison: Vontae Davis

Bottom Line: Average-sized, one-year starter with explosive athleticism and a loaded tool box. He has the feet, hips and agility to be a lockdown cornerback and the ball skills to make teams pay for looking in his direction. His lack of experience could show up early, but he has the confidence and competitive nature that should help him overcome those issues. He has the ability to become a Pro Bowl cornerback early in his career.

Sean Payton said the Saints had CB Marshon Lattimore ranked as their No. 3 or 4 prospect. When he fell to No. 11, the reaction in the room was "outstanding." The Saints even considered trading up for him before their patience paid off.

curious if we're going to single him up on Brandin Cooks any when we play Patriots.

Bleacher report:

Strengths: Athleticism, size, technique, pretty much everything.

Weaknesses: Some little issues.

Marshon Lattimore is so good that when you try to scout other players, he upstages them. Several times during draft season, I found myself watching Raekwon McMillan or some receiver facing Ohio State, and I would suddenly have to rewind the tape a little bit. "Holy cow, was that Lattimore? How did he chase down that overthrow? How did he undercut that route? Why am I watching this guy and not just enjoying me some extra Lattimore?"

Instead of listing Lattimore's many virtues, let's nitpick. He has NCAA cornerback, play-the-receiver-not the-ball tendencies on contested passes. That takes about three days of training camp to correct, because a cornerback who can get in proper position to hassle the receiver can be taught to turn his head.

Lattimore also gets a little flat-footed off the line of scrimmage at times, and he will reach to grab a receiver releasing inside of him instead of either jamming or turning to chase. That's usually a focus issue caused by opponents avoiding your side of the field for quarters at a time.

That's about it for the criticism. Lattimore should grow quickly into a shutdown NFL cornerback.

This was a windfall for the Saints: the best cornerback in the draft, sitting pretty at No. 11. They also have another first-round pick. And Adrian Peterson. Let the good times roll, and let some of their 38-35 losses turn into 35-28 victories!

Grade: A+
