McCutchin is a long boundary corner whose athletic ability exceeds his instincts and coverage consistency. He constricts short routes from tight man with twitchy feet and short-area quickness. He triggers quickly from the top of his drop but is often a step late because he fails to anticipate breaks and read the quarterback for clues. McCutchin plays the receiver instead of the throw, which explains the lack of takeaways. Zone coverage is pitch-and-catch in front of him and will continue to be until he sharpens his instincts/recognition. If he makes strides in those areas, he can take a big leap. Special-teams cover value could buy the patience for a longer look.
