The defense we're running doesn;t really matter how "good" a cb is(good usually means versatile) we need a very specific player since we are essentially running the exact same coverage every single down....
Seattle only really has Earl Thomas as a huge name on their D.. Byron Maxwell came in as a 6th rd pick and did just fine (he is not coveted because he is a one trick pony)... Sherman was a 5th rounder i believe...
I do wonder if Jean stanley baptiste would have been a better pick over Gaines, for us... Camp reports are that he's tearing it up
moral of the story is that Brandon Flowers would probably have been cut from Seattle's D even if they could get him for cheap. Doesn't mean Byron Maxwell is "better" than him
