Hank jones is wrong about Gratz. Covering vertical routes is just about the only thing he does well in coverage, hence why we liked him as a cover 3 corner who can block the sideline off. Otherwise he's a run support corner, who can't recover if he guesses wrong or is fooled by a WR's first move, he has tight hips. He always falls down when the receiver comes back to the LOS and doesn't anticipate crossing routes fast enough to get in front of them (that Texans pick 6 was thrown directly to him behind an open receiver on a drag route).


McCray/House/Colvin sounds like a very nice combo. I think Colvin is the most well rounded and McCray is the best pure cover guy, but I can see why House is a nice chess piece to add on the outside because of his size and physicality. I feel bad about not liking Gratz, I wanna believe in all of our early draft picks in this regime but his play was just way too vulnerable to really basic, easy routes on third down.
