CTB is an intriguing prospect imo. I don't know how much you can (or can't) plan around him. For one, his combine speed doesn't seem to translate to the field. He gets lost on routes and is left recovering. I don't know how PFF scores that but if he didn't run a 4.38 he'd look a lot worse. His straight-line speed is great, but pro receivers can slip him easily. He's very rigid and his hips are too square. I wonder how he would have done in the SB trying to shadow Brown and/or DeVonta.
At the same time, he's a much more capable tackler than I would have expected. MUCH. Plays far bigger than his size. Engages contact, understands leverage and his weight is well distributed. In the end, he's got a vice grip; even the biggest receivers and backs get stonewalled. Wonderful asset in that regard.
Honestly, I don't know where he fits in. I can't see him as a CB1 especially with Bates gone, but his gifts are tantalizing. Maybe he just needs the reps, Idk.
