#1.  This does not in any way, shape or form, affect Dave Caldwell's draft strategy.  GMs do not look at the draft, ESPECIALLY the 1st Round for short term issues.  It is a LONG TERM view, not "oh god, 4 games without our Nickle Corner, throw the whole board away, we have to draft a replacement NOW!".

 

#2.  Colvin was serviceable.  He's better in the Nickle, but our other options at CB have been so terrible he was forced to play the #2 role.  He did not excel there.  Prince coming in pushes him to the Nickle, and both positions are upgraded. 

 

#3.  We were HIGHLY likely to draft another CB anyways.  If not, Nick Marshall or McCray can hold down Nickle for 4 weeks.  That's if we DON'T land someone like Ramsey.  It could happen.

 

#4.  VH3 is a good looking CB Prospect.  However, let's keep this in the plane of reality.  If Ramsey, Bosa, or Jack are there, they WILL be taken.  VH3 is not going to go over any of those 3.

 

#5.  PEDs are a part of professional sports.  It's unfortunate, but it's true.  It should not come as a surprise that some players will look for every possible edge they can gain in order to be one of the FEW players selected to an NFL Roster, and even FEWER in a "starting" role.  There are millions of dollars at stake.  If you can't understand why someone would take that risk (4 game suspension if caught) for that reward (potential multi-million dollar raise), then you are simply naive.  It's not RIGHT, but none of us are angels.

 

#6.  Personally, I say let em all take Steroids and HGH and whatever.  It's Sports Entertainment.  It's their body.  I'm not that worried about it, because frankly, I believe a lot more players than you think are on something... And I don't blame them one bit.

 

#7.  PEDs vs Recreational Drugs - HUGE difference imo.  One is effectively a business decision to try and improve on the field.  The other... well.. Justin Blackmon says high...  It's not even that I'm against Rec Drug use... but I can't use them in my career field, so you know what... I don't.  And I'm not making Millions.
