Cochrane is the kind of player every contender needs: he has already mastered special teams and now gets a chance to show he can handle more on defense. The interception flash in camp fits that upward push.
Strengths: 975 special-teams snaps, 64 games, reliable effort, camp interception, and new defensive opportunity.
Weaknesses: Limited career defensive usage means the expanded-role projection still needs regular-season proof.
