NickButera Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 Good under the radar signing, he showed some quality play last year, albeit wasn't perfect. If we can add another piece the rotation isn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted to upgrade but didn't really want to spend so much on CB with all the draft capital. Lawson is only 5'9 we should play him in the open Slot spot, be a good battle for Amik. Someone Amik could beat out, but Lawson isn't horrible. Move makes sense Yeah Lawson is versatile and a good depth piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I trust your view on players, I was more tuned in to Lawson this season - and while certainly no world beater, he was pretty steady and I am absolutely in agreement that he is a good player to have around. So long as he’s not a starter. He’s a pretty reliable option to call on if needed Exactly, we can't have Pro Bowlers at every position and if we can add a vet CB like Dunbar as well maybe and draft an impact FS I feel our defensive backfield will be solid at least. If (and it's a big IF) the pass rush can improve then their jobs will be made so much easier too. It means we're not desperate for CB going into the draft and we can be flexible and not telegraph what were doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOaktown_56 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 He’s honestly not bad. But we need more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnobili Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 my problem is that he has neither a high floor nor a high ceiling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlyGlove Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I thought he looked meh at Slot. Coves outside too. If it's cheap then it's better then having nobody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he's a solid veteran depth option, but we need to upgrade our secondary not stay stagnant. Hopefully Mullen, Arnette, Robertson, and Johnson can improve this year.

We didn't invest a first round pick and an early second round pick into those two not to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Mullen, Arnette, Robertson, and Johnson can improve this year. You have to count on young players to some extent. I think Johnson will make a big jump in particular because he was basically a rookie due to injury and flashed a decent amount at cornerback.

Rich7sena Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Lawson has the DJ Hayden gene. He's always there but never seems to make the play. However, he should be penciled in as the starting slot corner--and we could do worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amik Robertson could be another potential starter at slot corner, as could Arnette if we add a CB in the draft or free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawson has his moments, IIRC he holds the NFL record for most starts without allowing 100+ yards in a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
