Gilmore's probably out for 5-6 games. We're pretty bare as far as backups.
We should make a move.
A pressure defense means you need good man on man cover CB's. Brooks/Rogers/Robey won't cut it. Brady will eat them alive. I'd argue we need one anyway even with Gilmore since McKelvin isn't a stud CB by any means. He's solid but not the sort of #2 CB that you fully trust man on man on an island.
Some of you have argued CB is a legit need going into next years draft. Would you move one of next years picks for a young CB with talent? If we need to be drafting one anyway?
Signing a journeyman or a player cut by another team could be an answer but it certainly doesn't fix the larger issue long term nor does it give us the sort of depth we need ultimately.
I've seen some saying, "Your move Pettine"... I'm saying, "Your move Whaley". You're the GM and we have a new hole, if we want to win it's important to get it filled. Don't act like the Bills of old and assume your marginal backups can do it adequately.
