The slot is a problem but outside corner could turn out to be a disaster for Phil Snow’s defense. At the moment, it looks like Donte Jackson and Eli Apple will be starting outside. Both struggled in 2019 and their best backup at the moment is the rookie Troy Pride Jr., whose size could be an issue. Cockrell played relatively well last year after recovering from a devastating leg injury. He wound up starting in 11 games and only gave up a 68.6 passer rating in coverage. If he cleans up his tackling, Cockrell could turn out to be a great depth signing.
