1. Bradley Roby
It’s a no brainer. Honestly, I’m not sure there are 15 cornerbacks in this league that I’d take over Bradley Roby, and I’m not sure the Broncos would swap him for anyone.
And yes, while Roby is essentially a starter in today’s pass-first NFL, he is, technically, a backup — unless Aqib Talib ends up facing a suspension, that is. So I’m sticking with that.
But for the role he plays, there’s no one better, and he gives Talib and Chris Harris the ability to do what they do best at all times.
There will come a day when Roby turns into a true No. 1 cornerback, but for now, he’s the best backup in the NFL.
