Speaking of needs, the more I think about it the more I feel like we have to be disciplined and not take a WR at 25 barring someone like Waddle or Smith falling. Marvin Jones is here for at least a year and will be on the field whenever he’s healthy. Chark is a stud. Viska is a monster in waiting and Colin Johnson showed a lot. I know you can never have too many offensive studs to support your new QB but the defense just has places someone else can help the team more imo. Also I feel like Marshall or either of the Moore’s will be there at 33 or 45 and I don’t know that there’s a massive difference between those 3 if you’re dead set on getting another guy at wideout

Farley's stock had already dropped due to injury concerns. He would absolutely be someone they need to consider if he drops to 25. It could happen since Horn is now likely to be taken ahead of him. This would be Meyer's first tough decision: does he take Farley or go more for a position of much greater need? Farley likely wouldn't even start right away at corner due to acquisition of Griffin who will play opposite Henderson. If  Sidney Jones is healthy, he is also in the picture. 

This situation is somewhat similar to the 2019 draft. Nobody thought Josh Allen would drop to the Jaguars and they had to take him despite having Yannick and Calais. If they had Farley rated as a top 10 player (many did) they'd have to take him. His athletic skill-set for a corner is elite and if they believe he'll overcome the back injury and his character checks out they'd have to take him. There are worse problems than having a stable of players who can cover elite receivers they will face. 

This team simply needs more talent and Farley seems to be a guy who has an abundance of that. If his health checked out, I'd run to the table at pick 25 with his name on the card!
