Wow, you really don't know what "ignore" means if you think resigning 1 starter, using 5 draft picks, 3 veteran free agent signings, and 2 UDFA signings in two offseasons is "ignoring" the position. We had the top 4 filled with Herndon resigned and Claybrooks as a premier gunner, depth comes from young guys who get time to develop, and we are awash in them already. Not defend what Baalke did with those earlier picks, but had he taken a corner it would've been overkill. I'd rather he taken big bodies, but CB wasn't a serious problem last offseason, and the young guys like Brown did ok when called on.

If this is why we didnt take a CB earlier.  I sure hope not.  You dont pass up corners on the top of your board because you have Herndon and Claybrooks, that would be some horrendous drafting.  Could have drafted Tyrique Stevenson in the 2nd, a guy who we met with last year and improved through out the year to one of the best rookie corners.  Im going to believe we traded back and didnt take Stevenson because we had Strange higher on our board, not because we had Herndon and Claybrooks.
