I don't see the point. Your safeties are near useless in terms of stopping offenses from 1st downs if your front 7 is weak like ours has been. And CB's even more so. In the specific case of Will Johnson, I'm weary of a secondary player who had success with Graham and Grant in the face of QB's all day, every day. To take a corner with a weak front 7 that can't stop the run feels like a very low return value for a 1.9 pick even if he does turn out to be all that everyone claims.

Yay! you can cover 1 WR over near the sideline while the opposing team just runs up the middle, passes over the middle, runs to the other side and the QB has 3+ seconds to pick his nose in the pocket then throw a pass.

I'm just not seeing the value.

You do realize that we a.) aren't drafting for only the 2025 season and b.) our only opportunity to add talent to the team isn't just with our 2025 first round pick, right?

I like the players, and the draft is more about adding talent and less about filling easy to pinpoint holes that exist right now, and come draft time, the team is likely going to look a lot different than it does at this very moment anyway.
