Look how great Jackson was year. Then look at how his numbers came down to earth this year.
Same with Dennard. Move him to #1 CB and he'd be terrible.
As a #3 CB he's serviceable. But is that what you want out of a #1 pick? And he's likely to want $6-7 million a year.
With regard to Jackson, he struggled with TA. However, since Marvin took over the defense, Jackson has played wonderful. I don’t have specific stats on hand, but I do know he has been graded as a Top 5 corner in the weeks after Marvin taking over. I’m not even sure he was targeted yesterday.
Jackson is very good.
