Tier 6: Significantly Worse
13. Cornerback
Yes, the starters are all back (CTB, Turner, & Hilton). As are Ivey (who is injured) and Davis from last year's 53 and George from the PS.
We drafted an experienced guy with good tape, great intangibles, and outside/slot versatility but limited athleticism in the 5th and switched Dax Hill to CB. We also drafted a S/CB swiss army knife in the 5th, Anthony.
Chido departed in FA.
My bottom line is a concern with our outside corner depth. Yes, Chido struggled a bit coming off a major injury. But we still had 4 proven boundary corners last year and now we have only 3. That isn't an upgrade.
Hill was mostly a slot in his CB snaps (Michigan and rookie year) and Newton is a rookie 5th round pick. Anthony a 6th round Swiss Army DB. Ivey is injured. Davis a pure slot. I feel pretty secure that year 2 recovery Chido will outplay them all.
If Cido does not bounce back & Hill & Newton shine + CTB & Turner level up & the starters stay healthy, we could be better off. But that is a lot of ifs.
