The impact of a good corner vs an average one to me just isn't worth the cost.
Pass rush sure. Cb's? Nah.
As long as we have several competent bodies in the secondary, I’m fine with not having true stars. We just can’t trot any complete garbage out there. The great QBs will always find Jamell Fleming.
The secondary was pretty good last year despite having a terrible pass rush.
Improve the pass rush and we’ll see the defense as a whole look much better. [Reply]
Would not be surprised at all if the Chiefs gave a 4th round pick for James Bradberry soon -- they clearly need to upgrade the CB position and the Giants desperately need to unload his cap hit for their 2022 Draft class #NYG

Could have restructured Mahomes and Thuney prior to FA. Wasn't that the biggest point of Mahomes contract? How flexible it would make us? If we needed $10mil to sign a player, just restructure mahomes, who cares about his cap being an extra $2mil r next 5 years? Wasn't that the big selling point? I remember multiple articles about that.
And now, not even 2 years in, we can't sign big FAs because of it and we're losing key, future hall of fame players.
Who saw this shit coming even a month ago? [Reply]

But there will be injuries and when they happen there's just nothing there. And frankly, last year's defense really sucked anyway so it's not like just treading water is sufficient.
The defense is in a LOT of trouble and options are dwindling fast.
Agree depth, but also, at present, quality. My point was really where we're at at this point. Obviously a couple of slam dunks along the DL in the draft and we could be golden.
The problem we've had is the cost and quality at DE in FA. So I'm not bagging Veach entirely for holding fire right now. But if there's no-one else CP is mad keen on at DE and we're picking at 30 - tough at this point to see a sea change in the DL's fortune [Reply]
I think Ronald Jones would be a very good 1-2 punch with CEH at RB. Hopefully Key or Green are on the radar now at DE whichever one makes it out of Baltimore [Reply]
