Quote:I'm a little surprised no one has mentioned a couple of the top CBs of the draft.

If the top 2 Dline guys are gone, and Robinson's off field stuff keeps him from being a top 5 pick...

why not Tabor or Humphrey?

 

A really nice shut down corner opposite of J.Ram... 

 

just a thought...

Actually, that's a very good possibility- especially if they don't re-sign Prince. Having 2 shutdown corners and Colvin as nickel would be great since we seem to be very unlucky when selecting pass rushers (Harvey, Fowler, Branch,etc.). Regardless, the pass rush should still be improved next year with Fowler and Yannick having gained a year of experience. A defense of :  Yannick  Jackson  Jones/Marks  Fowler

                                                Telvin   Poz   Jack

                                                     Cyprien   Gipson

                                             Ramsay       Tabor

                                               Colvin (at nickel)

 

I would take this defense any day, especially if Gipson shows improvement. The new coach will have to decide where to play Jack. It would be intriguing to have him as strong safety and to let Cyprien go in free agency. Regardless, I like your thinking on the possibility of a cornerback if Garrett is gone (likely) and Allen is not considered an elite pass rusher. 

 

The remainder of the draft should be offensive line, quarterback in rounds 2-4 ( Mahomes looks like the guy with most upside in the 2nd ) and tight end since Thomas will likely be gone.
