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

2006 - Tye Hill started 10 games for the Rams and Antonio Cromartie, in his 2nd year, is one of the top CB's in the league. Jonathan Joseph for the Bengals started 9 games as a rookie.
2007 - Revis for the Jets, Leon Hall for the Bengals, and Aaron Ross for the Giants all started and contributed last season to their teams.
I do agree that adding Gay, Young, and David in the last 2 off seasons has made a roster spot at that position hard to secure, but I don't think it's a lock to say a rookie could not contribute to our Defense.


My thoughts exactly. Well said..DRC has talents you cant learn. The rest of the talents needed to become a great NFL, CB Payton and the staff can certainly teach him. I also think Rivers has some raw talent to display in the NFL, and in the unlikely event that dorsey or ellis fall they are the obvious 10th pick choice. Other than that I think the lito sheppard trade up to us for the 10th pick would be another great move. Rivers probably will not be at 19, but if he isnt there are many more to choose from and we would have a starter in CB and we could still become the new dome patrol with Mayo in the mix! Go Saints!:worthy:
