Having to depend on Yeldon and Grant to run behind Robinson, Norwell, Linder and Parnell is much less scary than the thought of Hayden/Myrick/Patmon having to defend Hopkins, T. Hill, Jeffrey, OBJ, etc. 


You need more than one good CB.

Hopkins, T. Hill, Jeffrey, OBJ, etc. will be covered by Bouye, Hayden/Myrick/Patmon would get the #2 guy. Plus, you still have a pass rush and speedy LB's on the D. You lose Fournette and that running game has gone from one of the best in the league to average at best even with that line, IMO.

IMO, I think you underestimate the impact corner has on the D overall, especially those ends and “speedy linebackers”. Just look back a few years ago and you cannot deny the importance and chain reaction effects of the CB position. As far as RB, if we are honest, each is interchangeable as far as production. I’d rather Fournette but the others were just as, if not more productive when he was absent. I think we sometimes equate total yards with impact but that is more a result of how many times we forcefully ran the ball.
