Let's talk CB's
Kiper has us taking Greedy Williams in the 1st, who else is worth a look at CB in the early rounds?

I kind of agree with Bubsy. There aren't a lot of CBs that look like day 1 starters in this draft. I think Murphy is one, but outside of him I don't see a CB that I'd say without a doubt should have a 1st round grade or be a day 1 starter. I see quite a few day 2 zone corners that could probably be #2 guys. Spags will run zone alot more than we've seen in KC of late so there's a chance they take those guys. I think Mullen is a man cover corner that could end up being a #1 but I'm not sure he is out the gate. I think he's an immediate starter though. Most of the guys that show #1 skill sets need to be coached up. I really like Isaiah Johnson, Amani Oruwariye, Sean Bunting, and Jamel Dean (if he can avoid further injuries) as guys with that size and athletic ability to be a #1 but I think they need some coaching up. Nik Needham is my sleeper guy in this draft. Outside of them I see alot of guys that are nickle or #2s. Unless Murphy somehow slips I'm probably not going CB in 1. I like a few safeties more so than the CBs in this draft if I'm going DB early, particularly Thornhill, Abram, and Gardner-Johnson.

The Breeland acquisition was big because it means that corner isn't a pressing need like it was. Now you're just looking for a guy to compete with Ward for the 3rd spot initially

My opinion is it means they don't have to try and find a day 1 starter. They still need better than competition for the 3rd/4th spot, they need at least one corner that has the traits to be developed for 2020 as a starter which means they still need a day 2 player there.

No shit. Veach almost completely ignored corner last year and we have very little under contract beyond this season. I hope cornerback isn't like #2 TE where the position is ignored year after year. There will just be another excuse next year to avoid taking one.

of course it is. It's a position in which we should always be drafting and developing.
But if we were to line up tomorrow and play a game, Breeland, Fuller, and Ward would be your top 3 corners. That's not a terribly dire situation. The Safety situation is a little more sketchy, for instance. Actually, WR is scary if Hill is gone. Watkins never plays a whole season. That leaves Demarcus Robinson as our #1 for a big chunk of the year. I'm not saying I'm not taking a CB in the first 3 rounds, because I certainly would. There are several I like as eventual starters. probably not day one, maybe not season one, but certainly by season two. |

That Defense is going to continue to be owned if Breeland is your #1 corner.

I think they would have to move up to get one of the 2-3 top rated corners. Id rather have them stay put, maybe get one of the better safetys in the first(Rapp,Gardner-Johnson,Abraham,Thornhill), and try to get a corner in the second round, such as (Layne,Oruwariye,Williams). Look for a D lineman also in the second. With what I am reading, seems like coverage is more important to Spags than edge rushers, so I would lean in that direction. Getting Safetys that have had some corner experience, makes them all the more flexible. It should be a fun draft, cant wait!

I think you’re too fixated on this “#1 corner” thing.
If you have 3 solid to good guys, you’re fine. Peterson’s and Ramsey’s don’t grow on trees. I mean sure, if we draft a guy in the first 2 rounds you hope he can develop into a guy that could be in that next tier, but if we just got 3 solid guys for next year, we’ll be better there. |

It's a big deal that will be even bigger now that it's a 50-50 proposition if you touch a QB in a not favorable way, you're getting a PF. |

I’m simply saying they don’t grow on trees and expecting the Chiefs to go from what we had last year to a guy like Gilmore with the FA’s and draft options that are available is very unrealistic. If you don’t have one of those guys, you can shoot to have 3 solid to good ones and not be doomed like you’re suggesting. Look at that Ravens D last year. They didn’t have a corner of that caliber. Perfect example that it can work. |
