Thirdly, nobody knows if the Skins will even draft two DB's, much less who those players might be and what positions they might play if the Skins draft any of them.

Beyond that, the odds of any 2nd or 3rd or later round DB starting in his rookie year are exttemely low.

Number one, plenty of second round DBs end up starting their first year. Secondly, I will bet my next Army paycheck that we have at least one starter from the draft in the secondary, AND that we draft 2, and in my opinion, there is a 99% possibility that they draft MORE than 2 DB's. That is how broken our secondary is.

There will be alot of young competition, and with Merriweather and Crawford growing a bit as a defender, I suspect our pass defense ranking will improve drastically this next year. Never discount the effect that having a contract year Brian Orakpo with a chip on his shoulder will do for your D.
