Has a whole thread on the top corners for him. As you can see Henderson at #1 still.

Guy knows his stuff. He had a great Darnay Holmes thread up that I read. I think I'd lean towards Okudah over C.J., but I keep trying to tell people that C.J. is an absolute freak. He was badly misused by Grantham.

What makes CJ better than a Justin Gilbert?

I'm with you. He's going to be special with continued development imo.

I also have Okudah ahead of him. I don't think it's that large of a gap though. I just think that highly of Okudah too.

Gilbert was a lazy turd who wasn't natural in coverage. I thought Gilbert sucked.

Yeah, was fairly well known Gilbert didn't care very much/put in the work.

That's not CJ from what I've read/heard.

C.J. protected himself in 2019, but the man always busted his butt to try and chase players down from behind on long runs or catches. He ran down at least a couple guys (IIRC, Deebo Samuel was one) and stopped them from scoring on 70+ yard plays (and he wasn't the guy beaten). So no, I don't think he's a lazy turd. Just a kid who knew he was going to be a top pick and didn't want to risk his shot at making money.

I’m just trying to spark discussion 

I'm just answering the question. My recollection of Gilbert was that he seemed like more a HB than a DB. Was a gifted returner with freakish athleticism, but had a HB's body and wasn't a natural at the position. Just didn't have a good feel for it. Much more impressive with the ball in his hands. But yeah, I also recall him being a massive turd. My reaction when the Browns drafted him and Manziel was one of pity. I felt so bad for Browns fans.

Hasn't done it since he was a freshman. 

they really need a punt returner, Hardman was just okay at it. 
 

Probably just a smokescreen. Crazy to think about, probably pushes somebody to pull the trigger early. All that speed on one team.
