2008 NFL Draft: 1.27 Antoine Cason, CB, San Diego Chargers
The Chargers needed help in the defensive backfield and didn’t hesitate to select CB Antoine Cason. Cason probably went a little earlier than some expected, but this was right about the level considering the other defensive backs that were already selected. Cason projects as a zone corner, he hasn’t shown the one-on-one coverage ability that some of the other 1st round CBs have in their collegiate careers.
Fantasy Impact: The Chargers are good about adding value where they see it, and in Cason they added depth to the defensive backfield. Don’t expect much from Cason in 2008, either as a fantasy contributor or as someone who improves the overall productivity of the defensive unit.
