In terms of immediate help, like as in 2019 starter, I think safety, possibly LB, or a DE that would rotate in the Okafor/Speaks and possibly Kpass stew make the most sense in round one. Corners you're going to need at least one to develop as Fuller/Breeland are up after the season, so I think the second round is where you'd nab one.
of course it depends on how the board falls. Either way you need to come out of the second round with a safety, a corner, and a DE I think. Depending on the rest of free agency. [Reply]

That was my whole freaking point. If guys like Nelson can get starting jobs and that much money, good CBs aren't going to be that easy to find. [Reply]

Good for you, I guess? That does nothing to dispel the fact that you don't have to constantly churn picks to keep the depth chart replenished, because reserve guys are still affordable. [Reply]

AND-we have our starting 3. We need rotational/developmental guys; probably to take over at least one of those top 3 spots in 2020.
So one of the top 3 picks certainly, but that guy doesn't have to be a lock-down sure-fire #1 corner on day one. [Reply]

The whole point is that if you hit on one of those picks, you stop the churn.
If you're depending on free agency for both reserves AND starters (which is what the Chiefs are currently doing), the churn will never stop. [Reply]

It doesn't have to happen every single year, though. It can be temporarily stunted by drafting guys.
Look, I get it. You hate this CB class and nothing anybody says is going to sway you. That doesn't mean taking a corner out of this class is a bad idea. You just don't like it. [Reply]

I think in the modern NFL You will need to draft and develop corners constantly. [Reply]
