Is Rashad Fenton going to start this year?

If the right CB is there at 32 we will draft a starting CB.

Eventually you have to make it work, even if that means trading future draft picks. The needs at cb/lb are enough that if we get through the draft with the normal "the board didn't fall our way so we didn't take one until the 5th round" again we're in trouble.

Did all the free agent CB's and lbs get signed? Because if not, we'll be alright. And then there will be veterans cut in the lead up to the regular season. Dont force a need, it can be solved another way.

We made it work last season with budget signings, sure. But we actually had some cap room then. Fenton is the only CB we've taken in the past 3 years and it shows with our lack of young, affordable talent there. Same with linebacker, we've invested almost zero draft capital there.

We've reached, even traded up, for trash like Breeland Speaks before, why not a corner? Not to mention, look at some of the corners taken after Speaks in the 2nd round of 2018. Guys like Isaiah Oliver, Donte Jackson, and Carlton Davis have all shown varying levels of promise in 2 seasons now. Speaks has done absolutely nothing. So here we are, in a position to absolutely have to address the position because we've ignored it for so long.
