Quote:Fixed. Richard Sherman is more important to that style defense than Bobby Wagner, but it's close. You could make the case that MLB is more important than a single LEO if you have a solid rotation of LEO players. I think there are strong developmental LEO candidates after the first round, or if the Jags trade down a little, they could nab Dupree since it's a crapshoot at that position this year. 

I'm not as worried about corner, and I doubt we draft one high with McCray, Colvin and House all on the roster and virtual locks to man the top three spots. There are two main reasons I'd argue that MLB is more important in Bradley's defense: one is that the corners he worked with were drafted late and developed, whereas Bobby Wagner was, iirc, a second-round pick. Two, the corners were left in a zone rather than assigned to a man. Even Richard Sherman, arguably the best corner in the game, is glued to his side rather than the opponent's top receiver.

 

I like Dupree a lot, and he'd be high on my list if we end up trading back to 12.
