Maybe the guy they really like is super raw, but with no mini camp or true off season they wouldnt have taken him and went with a lower ceiling guy whos technically sound already.

I thought our CBs were probably our worst position group over the course of the season last year with fuller and fuller was probably our best corner. So, we lose our best player (fuller) in our worst position group but don’t need a starter to replace him? At minimum, I think we need a nickel starter, someone who could cover in the slot. Maybe a prospect like Fulton, Gladney, Johnson or Noah... I’m afraid all of those guys will be gone by our 2nd round pick. Maybe if we could slide back a few spots by trading down and take whoever is left over but I don’t think we need to go to that next tier of cb and we need someone who can cover the Edelmans of the league in the slot, a quick twitch guy... if we can’t cover for 2 seconds, how are we gonna get any sacks? Our coverage has to be decent enough to capitalize on all we’ve invested in our d-line.
