The off field stuff bothers me, but let's be real about it: Scot McCloughan is going to be a GM who's willing to give these guys a chance. Especially when they're obviously as talented as Culliver. He's easily better than any corner the 'skins have on their roster right now. From ESPN:

"Culliver's plus-10.8 coverage grade over the final 13 games ranked fifth-best among cornerbacks, and his allowing one catch per 13.3 coverage snaps ranked sixth among cornerbacks with 300-plus coverage snaps. Also, he had a 50.7 percent catch rate on the season."

Again, the guy was recovering from an ACL injury. Being two years removed from the injury now, he could potentially be one of the best corners in the league.

I love the moves Scot McCloughan is making. He's addressing a very horrible defense, outside of Robinson, Kerrigan, and Breeland. He's bringing in guys who are still young, who will be upgrades, but ultimately, these guys will be depth players, because McCloughan is still going to turn to the draft to continue solidifying these positions. I wouldn't doubt if he's drafts heavily on the defensive side of the ball. Things are not going to be fixed in year one, but by McCloughan's third year as GM, this team is going to be dangerous.
