Both Gladney and Henderson project as shutdown corners and that's super valuable. Even if Bouye stays another season he's gone after that

I admit that secondary is my hardest/the hardest position to scout so I'm not dying on this hill, but it doesn't sound to me like any corners after Okudah project as shut down guys.

I see people drooling about Josh Jones' movement at LT, Queen's all around polish and dynamic athleticism, Rugg's terrifying deep speed and underrated power and underneath game, etc. When it see people talk about the other CBs it sounds more like "well someone has to be 2nd at the position...".

Its a super deep class. Outside of Okudah, Fulton/Gladney/Henderson all project that way for me and then dudes like Dantzler and Diggs (don't like Diggs personally) are highly thought of as 1v1 corners. 

I really haven't seen any of that from Queen myself. He's regarded as a raw but v physically talented one year wonder who only really turned it on in the back half of the season but projects we'll as a coverage linebacker. He's probably the player I'm most bullish on being a big reach in a super weak class

Is it just being seen as a good class because there's a plentiful supply of average guys?

And if that's the market we're shopping in, how about AJ Terrell?  He had a bad day in the LSU game, but was never a mile away from his receiver and had a pretty good college career up until that point.

My issue on the CBs of this draft is after say round 2, there's nothing that is coming to help the team. So if we don't land Okudah, Fulton, Henderson or Diggs, I think we're stuck with Bouye and Herndon.
If we cut Bouye, I don't see how we can't target one of the top 3-4 guys at CB...
If Bouye is indeed a cap cut... CB at 20 is almost a must.
Guys like Terrell and Hall, and Gladney are OK picks but not sure they are going to be #1 CB guys (and I say not sure because of my general lack of knowledge and me not being an actual NFL scout lol)

CB is one of the positions we may have to reach a bit this year depending on how our roster trimming goes. Whereas WR, and even OL, is a bit more loaded in this draft so we can wait a bit on some of those guys.

Corner is up there with WR and RBs in terms of depth in this year's draft. Really impressive class that goes all the way into round 4 with potential above average starters.
