Calls for an "immediate impact" at CB through the draft. Do they make sense?

Noones saying they are complete bums and noones saying a CB we pick will be one either. But with our depth at CB currently, a rookie is going to struggle to win a starting job as a nickel or dime back, much less beating out David and Gay for the 2nd CB's spot in TC. The whole point was to swing for the fences if we pick a CB and get the guy with the highest ceiling. We aren't in desperate need for a CB to come in and start from day one so we can afford to go BPA if we pick CB (or any position for that matter).

depth is one thing , starters are the others.sure we have two starters even without mckenzie , just why there have to start two guys. iam not a downer , but young showed me not much last year to believe he can step up and play 6 games as a starter until MM returns. david should be atleast better than last year after one year of man coverage under his belt, that leaves craft and gay . gay is more of good nickel with starting experience , craft last year showed that he is extremely prone in coverage , speed doesnt do the whole work . he has the same weaknesses as david right now. so in my opinion we can speak of depth when we are sure about our both starters. maybe if we create some kind of passrush next season it turns out to be a good corps , but independet from it we failed to add young talent the last 5-6 drafts. other teams are loaded with young solid nickels and dimes or future starters, while our backups most times were just old journeymen or failed starters.
lets say we will have a better passdefense next year , still i would be upset if we dont add new talent to help the group for the next years. i want to see a concept in rebuilding the defense anytime soon , the patchworking in FA to pick BPA doesnt work really good in my opinion.

Who said they couldn't contribute? I'm saying that we have the depth to take the CB with the most potential even if he is more raw then say Cason or Talib. Leon Hall was horrible for the Bengals and Aaron Ross was a nickelback. I'm not sure about Revis's situation. Antoine Cromartie is exactly what I'm saying. Freak athlete, great potential, didn't play his rookie year (was injured), but is a beast now. Do you think the Chargers care that he didn't play his rookie year now? Of course not.

.

agreed on that ! but i dont see THIS much success in educating a DRC for us. gimme mike jenkins and he can start if gay or david suck
