Have To Keep One: Nick Marshall or Corey Grant?

^This.


 

I chose Grant because he has value as a kick returner. Admittedly the utility of the role decreases every year as the NFL keeps trying to eliminate the kickoff return. But for this year a kick returner can still be useful.


Marshall has shown nothing at CB. He's about 8th on the depth chart, and the only reason he was kept on the roster is that he had the physical ability to play CB. But he has not developed. In fairness to Marshall, the Jags haven't developed any of their young CBs or safeties, As I watch Cyprien, Gratz, Evans, McCray, Harris, Colvin, and Sample, none of them are noticeably better than they were early in their rookie years. So it is likely a coaching failure too. Whatever the reason, it's time to move on.



 

In reality, I think both will be cut. Greene returned kickoffs in the scrimmage, and did about as well as Grant, and see Teal Curtain's thread about Lee returning kicks. With the quality depth at WR, keeping an extra WR instead of an extra RB and having a WR return kicks would make more sense.
