No, Dane Cruikshank is not on Minkah Fitzpatrick’s level as a prospect. Fitzpatrick is much more nuanced and NFL-ready as both a zone and run defender because of his reliability and consistency. However, Cruikshank is bigger, more athletic, and in my opinion, even better in man coverage. They can both play nearly every spot in the secondary with their versatility, but the difference is that I trust Fitzpatrick to produce right out of the gates, which is why he is a slam-dunk top 10 grade for me. For Cruikshank, he is in the second round on my board because he still has to develop consistency as a deep defender in zone and open-field tackler, but he has shown flashes of promise in both areas.
