basically, i think there are far more pressing needs to address this draft. i think that at corner, we have springs and smoot to begin the season as starters. carlos, hopefully, won't be any later than week 4. and we have 2 good, young prospects in torrence and byron westbrook.
i think if we can improve our pass rush, we'll be just fine at corner until rogers returns. and when he does, we'll be in good shape. maybe we should bring in a vet (ty law, for example) as an upgrade over david macklin. other than that, leave it til next year!

Improving the pass rush will definitely mitigate concerns at cornerback. I think the Skins should take the best player with that 1st pick but if that guy happens to be a cornerback I think they need to pull the trigger.
The issue with corners is that most take a year or two to develop (I guess you could say the same thing about most positions). I disagree that Torrence or Westbrook are legitimate candidates to start at any point in their careers and my perspective is that once Springs retires, we are really left without a top-flight corner.
