We all know Joe Haden is the top DB but who will be starting
opposite him on opening day and who will be the starting nickel?
Buster Skrine 5’09” 185 – After what I saw last year, Buster
scares me. He has tons of talent but
hasn’t shown that he can cover without being overly aggressive. He cost us that game in Dallas and I can’t
get over it.
Leon McFadden - 5’10” 193 - The 3rd round rookie
out of San Diego St. has a real shot at becoming a starter for the Browns this
season. I don’t know if he will be ready
to be thrust into that role by week 1 though, especially since he hasn’t signed
a contract yet and is missing out on quality time.
Chris Owen - 5’9” 181– The Browns signed Chris from Atlanta
this off season and he has mostly played the nickel corner. Rumor has it that during mini-camp Chris showed
up determined to win the spot opposite of Haden and has looked really good. Chris could be the sleeper in this battle,
watch out.
Trevin Wade - 5'11" 192 - Trevin could be a big surprise this preseason. He plays bigger than he is and has the ability to cover the bigger receivers in the league.
Johnson Bademosi -6'0" 200 - I really liked watching him play last year. His ability to rotate between Safety and Corner showed his flexibility. Will he be platooned at Safety because of the lack of depth or does he have a legit shot to play Corner?
This is going to be a fun battle to watch during training
camp and the preseason games. We have a plethora of young talented guys that want to prove their worth.
