I know Morris Claiborne will be coming on the roster after two more games, but right now we are carrying 4 CBs and one of those is Rashad Fenton.
I have read that Juan Thornhill or Tyrann Mathieu could play CB in a pinch but that would mean Daniel Sorensen is then probably playing Safety. I like Daniel in the role he is in now.
So looking around the NFL, I like Mike Jackson Sr who is currently on the Dallas Cowboy's practice squad. He is 6-1, 210, 22 years old, played at U of Miami (FL) and was a 5th round (158) pick of the Cowboys. If you watch Miami games from the last two years, he looks like a decent CB. He was number 28 for Miami.
At the combine he ran a 4.45 40 time, 40.5 vertical (so he has hop and speed), 130 in Broad, and 13 BP. He has a size and speed advantage over Rashad that could be used on special teams and Mike could be developed into a good CB. I kind of see him like Charvarius Ward, which will make some of you cringe, but I think they both can become good CBs for the Chiefs.
