I think one positive that Stribling has going for him in the draft is that one of his major deficiencies (tackling) is relatively easy to improve. Grading out as the #2 cover-corner in the draft is a huge. Especially with the passing spread on the rise in the NFL, teams need cover guys. I think it’ll be easier to improve tackling than coverage technique, but that’s just a gut feeling. Speed, on the other hand, might be more problematic. If he finds the right team, Stribling could find some decent playing time at the next level.
