Cordrea Tankersley. 24. player. 124. He’s been beaten at times but Kansas City Chiefs CB Marcus Peters picks off a lot of passes. It will get to the point where the possible TD won’t be worth the possible INT. So opposing teams are already throwing at him less now and will throw at him even less by next year. <p>So there needs to be a guy on the other side that can handle getting picked on. Peters was the one that got picked on last year but Sean Smith’s departure led to less throws his way. Cordrea Tankersley of Clemson has shown that he has the talent of a shutdown CB.</p> <p>He looks like the best pure press-man CB coming out in the 2017 NFL Draft. So he would go to Kansas City, walk right in and play well on the other side of Peters. Opposing QBs would then have a dilemma on their hands as for which side to throw the ball to.</p> <p>Of course, Chiefs fans are hoping they get RB Jamaal Charles back healthy next year. He would serve the Chiefs well along with the passing game developing over there. And if the Chiefs can stop the run in 2017, they would have a good chance to win the tough AFC West. </p>. CB.
