i feel gratz is currently a mid to low level cb2 being asked to cover top wide receivers like andre johnson and josh gordon which makes him appear far worse than he is

 

He is always going to be given trouble by those guys

 

I personally feel his ceiling is like that of cecil shorts on offense, a high level cb2. I think if colvin can be our number 1 guy which considering he was talked of as a back end of the first round prospect seems to be within his reach and with a front 4 that can generate pressure I feel we can see gratz be a solid prospect

 

my personal hope though is we see mccray take a step forward this year to put pressure on ball and gratz for a starting spot. His performances on special teams and what we saw in his reps against seattle (way before he was ready) make me feel there is potential there.

 

If he could take a step in camp, start to get some time on the field, keep improving and beat out ball late in the season (which for some reason I feel he can) I think we could have our cb1,2 and nickel corner all on the roster.

 

I think a secondary of colvin, mccray with gratz at the nickel (which i think would be ideal for him given his strength against the run and his pretty good movement skills). Add cyprien and our first/ second pick next year at free safety and I feel we could be set in the backfield for the next 5-10 years
