Thin and young Secondary Thoughts

Peters has been exceptional. But his own youth almost got the most of him a couple of times as even he alluded too. He mentioned that the veterans helped calm him down.
I do not really know what is available from the FA pool. I know there seems like some good prospects in the draft at the CB position, can they have as much impact in their rookie season as Peters did though is the real question.
Don't know much about the Safety pool in the draft. I wouldn't be surprised if we spend our first two rounds on the secondary.

I hope we sign at least one vet and don't go that young.

I love the idea of Karl Joseph in the first.. Corner is more pressing, but as much as we use our safeties I'd love the idea of taking him... It might be a little early, but I don't think he'd be there in the second. He's the total package for a safety.. Great in coverage, and great in run support. He's also got that Tyrann Mathieu versatility.. I don't think he'd have a problem covering man in the slot

Haven't seen anything that suggests he would have to be taken at 28. Seems to have the "injury concern" label floating around with him, that with the depth at the position should put him in the mid-day 2 range.

I was just thinking this. Another Ron Parker type would be great even with Fleming.

We need good cover guys and we play both press and zone. DeAndre-Houston Carson is a guy later who could fill that role if they choose that route. Played as a press CB and safety in college.
