I really don't think we need a cornerback that early (PLEASE READ)... (1 Viewer)

Whether or not David improves, it's worth it to keep him until his contract is completely played out.

We've already paid a large bulk of his deal. Our ROI is basically 0 (if not negative). We can only go up. Ideally, we'd find a starter in FA and in the draft (until MM is back). That's unlikely. We'll probably get a starter in FA and a nickel to begin with meaning David will play.

But he's had a year in the system and he's making NOTHING for a cornerback. He's still young and athletic, and he spent the first years on a team with a winning mentality. Therefore, his contract is still a bargain. He's making about what nickels make now, and if he happens to improve and play himself into a starter's role, even better.
 
Gentleman,
Look at the accomplishments of the Giants current secondary.
A VERY lean group if ever there was one. Ross is a pretty decent rookie, but still just a rookie. McQuarters is average at best. Gibril Wilson is average at best also.
They are playing "lights out", because of the CONSTANT CONSISTANT PRESSURE from their front seven. The pressure on the QB makes a Fred Thomas look like a Dre Bly. So obviously we should take the best DT or LB available then CB.
------as always JMHO
I'd pay an extra 20 bucks per season ticket, if we could sign Asante Samuel.
PLEASE MICKEY, make us ALL happy!!!!!!!!!!
 
We need a bonafide play making safety. It's been proven over and over that teams with great S's don't need great CB's. We need to upgrade at the S position. Our pass D played much better with KK at S. He was always in a position to make a play. We put Bullock back in for the last 2 games and we looked like swiss cheese. We only have KK and Harper at S. We need to upgrade tremendously.

As for the front 7, they do make a difference in pass D. When a team is unable to stop the run with it's front 7 then they must bring their S up to stop the run. As soon as the QB reads this he knows that the corners do not have any S help. That was part of the reason we kept getting beat over the top. Also our pass rush was very poor. We put very little pressure on the QB. Even a subpar QB can look great when given too time to throw the ball. We can't afford another season with Bullocks, Simoneau, David, and Shanle as starters. All 4 of thes players need to be replaced through FA or the draft. Also, we need a pass rush specialist to replace Grant or Thomas in obvivious passing situations.
