At UCONN, Gratz was very good.  Him and Blidi Wreh-Wilson made up one of the 2 or 3 best corner tandems in college football.  He had one game, I forget against who, where he gave up like 2 touchdowns, but other than that he was pretty good.

 

As a rookie, Gratz did about as well as any rookie corner can be expected, especially playing with injuries.  I don't think Gratz will be an elite corner, but he'll be a middle tier starting corner in the league for a very long time if he continues to progress.  I think we'll have a clearer picture by the end of this season whether he'll be a fixture at corner, or just a body that can hold it down while we address larger needs.

 

Cyprien struggled pretty bad at the start of last season, but I think that shouldn't come as a surprise for a rookie out of FIU who missed time in camp.  He came on pretty strong by the end of the season and flashed.  This season I expect a large jump from just average overall, to very good.  He's looked good so far in camp.
