This was a clear cut case of drafting for need. We needed a CB and Caldwell had his mind locked in on drafting a CB at #9. There is no way anyone will ever convince me that he was the 9th best overall player in that draft. I said it then and I'll say it again, he wasn't even the 2nd best CB in the draft. It makes sick that we passed on Tristan Wirfs to make him the selection. We could've had Wirfs at #9 and taken a superior CB talent like Jaylon Johnson (who I wanted,) with our second round selection. On top of the fact he was the wrong choice from a talent perspective, now we're dealing with the "off the field" baggage. It's almost like Caldwell did no research on this kid at all.
