And it's relevant to how the draft falls (cuts don't have to be made until june 1st iirc) so if the draft goes in such a way we can get Okudah or Diggs, yeah Bouye is expendable.
But if not... You want Herndon and a guy like Bryce Hall as our starting CBs next year?

I think they'd have to land a top 5 corner in the draft to warrant the move.  And that probably means taking one at #20. Pick 42 may not have much CB talent hanging around. 

Likely has to be one of: Okudah, Fulton, Diggs, Henderson, Gladney  (or however that CB ranking finally shakes out) 

Just depends on if they like a CB that's on the board at 20 or 42 enough to warrant the replacement. 
I'm just spitballing here. I don't feel strongly one way or the other. But I am disappointed in Bouye's play the past two seasons.

His Deadpooliness nailed it. I don't think anyone's out there claiming that Bouye's a great corner, or that he's the answer long-term. It's just that unless the plan is to tank, you have to keep some starting caliber guys around, even if they're way more expensive than they're worth. The team can't afford a stupid expensive FA corner like Bradberry this year, which means you almost have to sit on Bouye until you see what you land in the draft unless you want to gamble on a career backup type.
