It's heard to know who to trust. Here's what GBPG wrote about Cason:
If this is the case, I like him. I liked him before I read he couldn't play bump and run. However, I'm not sure he's a 1st round talent. I think Thompson goes elsewhere in round 1, and then looks at corner in the 2nd or perhaps 3rd round. Draft is supposed to be about 4 rounds deep at corner.
Cason might be the highest-rated of the group, or at least the safest prospect among them. He has a glaring lack of recovery speed but is smart, instinctive and has the strength to play the bump-and-run coverage the Packers demand of their cornerbacks.
"He does a nice job of (bump and run)," said a scout who has a second-round grade on Cason. "He doesn't have great speed — unless you have great safeties, that's my only thing. Is that guy a top 64 pick? Yes. We need corners, too. But the guys we have now I know are faster than him, and that bothers me."
