What happens if Houston is cut and we rely on injury prone Ford who gets hurt like his past dictates? You’re relying an awful lot on Speaks, Tanoh and a retread.
Let’s face it: pass rushers are a goddamn fortune and we all know that we can’t afford to drop money on one with our current situation.
Right now we have Fuller and Ward at corner and they are serviceable. I feel like a corner not named Byron Murphy is questionable in worth compared to what a pass rusher can provide. I’m thinking there might be some cheaper players to go for in FA and our 2nd rd pick would be just as good of use.
Plus a highly paid pass rusher’s salary is roughly $10 million more per year than a highly paid corner.
Yeah I’m thinking pass rusher. Based on Andy’s history, I bet he is too.

I'd say there's a chance they look at pass rusher in the first, but maybe they feel the secondary is the more immediate concern and so they either draft a developmental pass rusher this year or defer it until next years draft to look for one in the 1st round.
