* Sapp has NFL experience but is not prototypical CB size and I think Gun puts a premium on size and speed. Will Sapp's experience override his physical shortcomings and keep him on the roster?
* Hodge has size but was a day 2 pick, has only practice squad experience and was selected before Herm got here. Will Hodge's practice squad experience earn him a roster spot over Maxey?
* Maxey has size and speed but was a day 2 pick. Obviously, Maxey has no NFL experience and only limited college experience but he was chosen in the Herm Edwards era. Will we try to sneak him onto the practice squad this year to gain experience or will Gun be enamored by his physical attributes?

Good, well reasoned post.
Side note:
Nothing will make me happier than the sight of Battle as a stud CB. If nothing else, for the cool name he has. Seems like the Chiefs stopped filling the roster with cool names (Lanier, Hill, Otis Taylor, etc) after the Stram era and now are more into forgetable common names (Johnson, Wilson, Williams, etc.)
