It's who we are.
ive embraced it. You should too.
this is our chance to truly once and for all have the best secondary in the NFL.
This kid is a player, but I don't want him at #9 and I doubt he lasts until the second rd.
in 15 years how many "Top" CB's have we taken. without a rush, there aren't too many guaranteed lock down corners. and they get hurt. it's a waste of a pick. Especially when the team is one game changing LB away from being fairly dominant. a high round CB pick would be borderline unforgivable.
Considering we had the most injury issues at CB last season, it's not surprising that they're looking at CB's. Plus, you're 3rd CB is basically a starter in today's NFL and more important than a 3rd LB. I'd still have issue with taking one in the first though. Along with WR and OT, CB is another position that's supposedly just as deep this year. So I'd rather wait and get a good CB after the first that can still come in and compete for that 3rd spot and provide good depth.
We still have Gilmore for a couple years. McKelvin is locked up at a reasonable price for three more years and was probably are best and most consistent CB last year. Robey also emerged as a nice option in the slot. We also just signed Graham for four years, so unless they're confident that Graham will be moving to Safety, I just don't see the point in taking a CB in the first.

Hmm - not in my observations of the pundit listings. CBS sports has him a 1st - 2nd rnd pick:

All of which means - what? It's often a position that players need seasoning, time. I see him slotted 20 or below, if some club has a 1st round itch for him.
Anyway, it looks to be an interesting draft, what with all these qbs, ols, wrs getting chatted about. I really hope BUF can swing a deal out of the 9 spot. I'm not sure but that Alonso might slip at OLB - different responsibilities, end of the free-wheeling. I feel that a concentration on OL and LB is needed. No doubt Manual gets the shot at qb.
