I wasn't of the mind that he meant 'elite corners'.
It's harder for a corner to impose his will on a game. The best corner in the world can lock down half the field, sure, but he's not able to really dictate the flow of an offense.
An elite LB or DL can be a force against the run and eliminate all types of downfield passing. Who would you rather have had last year, Josh Norman or Von Miller? Prior to that, JJ Watt or Richard Sherman?
It seemed to me that he meant all around elite player. When Peters isn't much of a force in the run game, about half the time he makes no difference at all and in the other half he's more of an annoyance than anything in that you should probably just not throw at him (though sometimes it's not that hard to throw over him).
To be an overall elite player, he needs to have a greater impact in all facets of the game.
