I haven't seen any CBs with diving,and it seems like a cheap skill. I was wondering if it could be useful in coverage for getting more PDs? Is it worth putting points into diving?

Yes...I put some diving and vert into all my CBs.

How high do you recommend getting those traits?

30 to 45....but I play zone where vertical is more important.

25 is a minimum, 30 is generally acceptable...anything more is gravy

All my CBs have about 25 Vertical and no investment in Diving. Haven't really seen the need for more of either, but I could buy that a little more in Vertical might help.

This is what I do:
Pass coverage CB, only get vertical.
Balanced CB, get both.
Run stuff CB, only get diving.

Could diving possibly help in pass coverage? Possibly, but from watching the sim doesn't look like it.

I get made fun of for looking at the Combine stats (see 20yd Shuttle), but investment into Vertical helps your Broad Jump and your Vertical jump. So I'd fade more to Vertical unless you specifically need Diving.

It does help with knock loose + power tackle.

I would amend to say balanced get neither, as you probably need SP in the primary pass and run stopping skills to be messing around with luxuries like vert and diving.

Anyone ever seen a CB dive for a pick or even a deflect?

This, and being able to get an immediate tackle if they give up the completion.
