Free Agency: Why CB Aaron Colvin Might not be as Good as you Think

Recently, it was reported that the Jacksonville Jaguars were unlikely to re-sign cornerback Aaron Colvin. And the 49ers have a glaring need at cornerback, so this should be a match made in heaven right? Not so fast.


Recently, Niners Live discussed our top draft choices at cornerback and in free agencyre-signed by the Jaguars and why he might not be as good as you might think from an objective perspective, of course.

In his four seasons; Colvin has appeared in 48 games, starting 25 of those contests while accounting for 166 combined tackles, 14 passes defended, one forced fumble (two fumble recoveries, returning one for a touchdown), zero interceptions in the regular season and one interception (see video) coming in three playoff appearances. Note: In 2016, the National Football League handed down a four-game suspension

Note: In the last three years, Colvin was targeted 176 times, surrendering 124 catches at a catching rate of 70.5 percent, allowed 1,079 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and a passer rating of 90.1.


Important to note: In the 2017 playoff game, Jaguarsversus the New England Patriots; wide receiver Danny Amendola (seven catches for 84 yards on nine targets and two touchdowns) played exclusively out of the slot and at times matched up against Colvin.
The 49ers already have a nickel back in who was signed to a contract extension last season. It remains to be seen if Colvin can play on the outside at a high sustainable level.
Colvin was drafted by the Jaguars before fellow cornerbacks and teammates Jalen Ramsey (top-draft pick in 2016) and A.J. Bouye

Colvin sucks. He's worse than Facyson. Garbage with the Jags and garbage with the Texans. Go on Texans forums and you'll see them celebrating his release.

He basically cost them week 1 game cause Brees picked on him again and again and even on their last play to get into FG range.

[beachcomber]

I think we bring up one from the practice squad.

that was my thought, and Kemon Hall, and.... hasta la vista mi amigo ??

The Chargers don't have a DB on their practice squad.
I like Mike Jackson (Dallas' 5th rounder sitting on their practice squad)
although he's a rookie so not sure if any better than Facyson at the moment.

[beachcomber]

They only gave up 198 receiving yards last week. The poll could just as easily be looking for someone who can tackle in the box - which is where they got trucked for 175 yards rushing.

No need to panic just yet ... if there's a value guy thats not expensive sitting out there, i dont mind kicking tires but lets not get crazy.

give Justin Jones the predominance of snaps @NT, and.... play Jerry about twice as many snaps as he got last Sunday.

we also need a healthy DP.... (and to move Kyzir back to WIL when that time comes.... three to four deep there btw)

What is a DP? How does this solve only 3 healthy corners?

[beachcomber]

'nother move I would consider is to designate Jaylen Watkins as a CB/FS, and bring back Adarius Pickett as a SS, and....

am squarely a Facyson supporter and have been well before he got drafted.... his main concern is durability.... he will hold up just fine as long as he is healthy, and after he gets a coupla few weeks under his belt.

[beachcomber]

What is a DP? How does this solve only 3 healthy corners?

well it doesn't, and.... the chances are that Denzel (Perryman) doesn't make it for the duration of the season either.... unfortunately.

as for the CB situation.... would look into signing (another injury concern) EJ Gaines, designate Jaylen Watkins as a backup CB, and let it ride w/Facyson 'til a coupla few of our guys get healthy/back into the DB fold.

whatever happened to Arrion Springs.... (Bradford Lemmons anyone....
