Maybe this is the season a healthy Delvin Breaux shows his worth on D, no?

I just realized that lost in the attention Lattimore and Crawley have received is the fact that this essentially was PJ’s rookie season because he finally stayed healthy. He’s a fine back-up to play on the outside but nickel just doesn’t suit him.

We need a bonafide nickel CB. Someone like Nickell Robey-Coleman or Aaron Colvin will be available in free agency.

Who are some good options in the draft? Maybe Mike Hughes (UCF) or Mark Fields (Clemson)?

Nice options.

From the collegiate ranks, I like cornerback Michael Jackson from the U. 6'1, thick frame and can run.
Or Jaire Alexander of Louisville
Ohio St Denzel Ward... possibly nickle backs at the next level.

Slot options out there.

TJ Carrie CB/FS Raiders (27) 5115 205 4.43 #38 Rd 7 2014
He has become one of the NFLs most reliable slot CB this year. PPF coverage grade of 82.0. One of the NFL’s underrated cornerbacks. This is a break out year for him I like his physicality in tackling too.No cornerback has more tackles resulting in an defensive success while defending the pass than Carrie’s 14. A versatile defensive back with inside-outside flexibility. A must be re-sign for the raiders?

Aaron Colvin CB Jaguars (26) 5113 177 4.51 Rd4 2014
Colvin tore his ACL at Oklahoma. He played just 292 snaps in 2016 following a four-game suspension and season-ending ankle injury but did receive plus marks for his coverage from Pro Football Focus. Jags have a bit of a cap issue and are worth watching to see who gets cut lose when the money runs out.

a few later round prospects
