He'd better be. You don't draft a player in the 1st Round to be a backup.

He can be CB3, and still be a starter. Tough to expect that he'll begin the season as the #1 CB. Not sure exactly how you determine that in week 1 anyway.

Nah, first round pick, he should be leaving receivers on Forbes Island week 1.

I think you're kidding, but...

Top 5 (maybe 10) overall, perhaps. But I think those are pretty lofty expectations for a rookie CB for week 1, just because he was drafted in the 1st round. Maybe as the season progresses, or by year 2.

I am kidding.

Or not?

Nah, I am lol. I don't expect him to lock down receivers immediately. But we are woefully lacking in turnovers the last few years, I'm hoping he helps immediately in that department.

You are confusing me. I don't even know what CB1, CB2, etc. means in terms of position, if anything. All I'm saying is that he was drafted in the 1st Round and if he is a true 1st Round talent he should be starting in Game 1 at some position in the secondary. First Rounders are plugged into starting lineups right away all over the league.

Sorry you are confused. I don't really know what CB1, CB2, etc. is either. I wasn't the one who called him that or indicated he would be that, nor do I subscribe to the idea that there actually is such a thing.

I do agree that he should be a starter. I don't agree with any expectations for him to be the best DB on the field in week 1.
