Who is the definate #1 CB in the Draft?

I do love the questions you bring up. I would like one of these guys as well as either Dorsey, Ellis, or Rivers. I am not sure which of these corners best fits our team, nor am I sure which of the two top DTs are better for us. DRC's size and speed in shorts are very tempting, and who knows if this makes him a Haslett guy or if he has the intelligence and intangibles to be a Payton guy? I don't, but I am sure the FO has a good idea of what they want. Is there a way to wind up with a top DT and CB? As badly as I want the top DT more than the top CB, it may be impractical to get him. Considering the depth at CB and the drop off at DT, would it server us better to get the top DT and take the best corner available in round two? Or does the top corner for us-- again very debatable-- make us better in tandem with a tier two DT? In my point of view, no, but I have been yelling that all offseason.

Again I must consider if both DT's are gone and there is no realistic chance of getting Haynesworth, should we take someone like DRC in round one or grab Rivers and take the best corner left in round two? Of course if we take DRC, and he turns out to be all pro, and Dorsey battles injuries and Ellis reveals himself to be overrated, we look good. On the otherhand, we take either Dorsey or Ellis, and Flowers or Talib if available in round two, and both play well, maybe we look better. I just don't think the impact of DRC and say DT Sims are as good for us as maybe Ellis and best round two corner would be for us.

The purpose of this thread was to illustrate that none of us can decide who is the best corner for us; and that in doing so point out that the top two DT's are better options considering we can very likely get one of these top 5 corners in round two.


If either of the 2 DTs are available its pretty much a no-brainer... even with Dorsey's "injury concerns" I think there's now way we pass him up.

The cool part about filling your holes BEFORE the draft is that you really won't need a rookie to step in and contribute NOW... unless that rookie is just that good.

Assuming Dorsey and Ellis are both gone... I don't see anyone else at 10 worthy of a #10 pick. Clady maybe... or even Rivers would be a decent pick, but there is more value at LB in the 2nd round. Also... for those that want to trade the #10 pick... who will be available at 10 that would make a team trade up?

We probably won't necessarily NEED a CB at 10, but guys like McElvin, DRC, and jenkins may not be around in the 2nd. I do know that these 3 guys excel at man coverage... I hope the FO choose wisely.
