CB Ignored in Free Agency

[Schneed10]

I'm surprised at what I'm hearing in this thread. I think we need to be thinking CB and only CB with that 2nd rounder in the draft. Shawn Springs is great, but on the wrong side of 30. Rogers seems poised to be a solid #1 corner for a number of years. But behind those two, we have nothing. I think it serves our interests to get a rookie with some talent in the fold, he can start off as nickel and then take over for Springs once he becomes a total geezer. Given the depth of CB in the draft, we're pretty much guaranteed a shot at a good one. We need to be thinking about the future, CB is not a position I want to mess around with. Need to take young talent while it's available, and it's available at our 2nd rounder this year.

you could say that about a lot of positions. a #3 CB is cheaper in FA than a starting quality OL guy or a LB replacement for arrington. both of those guys HAVE to be starting quality, the CB doesn't.

besides, we might pickup dyson whos a good #2 anyways and cheap.

Pardon my ignorance, but which 'Dyson' are you referring to, and what team does he play for?

#2 semi-ballhawk CB with the titans until the salary cap purge, got picked up (cheaply) by seattle and was their #2 last year, had injury problems and was released again. cheap due to injury issues, but #2 talent is their.
