Yeah. That's what Baalke was saying. He's interested in seeing what everybody's top twenty-eight cornerback's looks like from this class. Which I found interesting in and of itself. He threw a really, really good number out there. 

This is at least a four to five round deep class of CB's in this year's class in my opinion. You're bound to land a quality outside CB, a slot CB and a lot of good CB2's in this class in my opinion.

If you're reading tea leaves that could mean we're either not expecting to go corner in the 1st or perhaps we'll double dip at the position group.  I don't know why you bring up a number like 28 otherwise unless it's just complete BS to throw other GM's off.  It's not really stating an intention directly either way.

If, as GM, you believe that CB opinions on this class of "top 28" will vary widely, that to me says rank your guys and take one later and see if one or more of your guys you pegged as higher ranked slip to you in the following round or two. That's assuming you have a great alternative at another position to select in the higher round(s).
