Official 2017 NFL draft thread

[pbmax]

let me clarify

we need someone we can put on the other teams top WR, and hold him under 150 yards

Very true.

I would settle for FOUR NFL caliber corners (above replacement level) before I choose one top flight corner.

A defense can handle or double the guy getting 150 yards, if its not in 20 yard chucks, you can defend it. Its the other lesser lights killing you that allows a team to get 500 yards of offense.

Not an argument against a FA or first round CB, just a matter of what would help the defense more.

we almost always refused to try and double team the guy going nuts on us this year, why would that change next year?

and i suppose it doesn't help much when one of your safeties is having to be the 3rd ILB on the field
