OVERALL

Jason Marshall is a smart cornerback who can be effective in a zone coverage-heavy system. However, he shows some hip tightness and isn't effective when playing press, which limits the amount of schemes he can be successful in.

Overall, Marshall is worthy of being a late-round pick and could add depth to a team's cornerback room.
