Buffalo once they realized we could not disguise our coverages were laughing at us.
Thornhill is better than Sorenson at coverage. That's not a very high bar.

I think Thornhill is probably a pretty average NFL safety with upside given his history and age.
I think corner is clearly a premium position versus safety.
You're the guy who is recommending that we take a valuable corner asset and turn him into a safety to create a potentially elite defender while immediately reducing his overall value. Brilliant idea.
If you want to criticize Veach's plan, you can point to the fact that this is a good draft for safeties and perhaps that's where we should've focused. But the idea Thornhill is a big enough problem that you need to create a larger hole at corner is just silly.
Stop being silly.
