I'm not in the camp for relying on a rookie aka Mr. Mansfield. Remember this kid hasn't played football in almost 2 seasons. The NFL is a pass happy league now. If he loses confidence, it's over. Not sure if that's fair to him either.

Personally, I don't care who they sign but we need another veteran corner on those boundaries.

Same depth we had couple of seasons; if it was good enough to be considered a Superbowl contender, why not now?

Janoris Jenkins isn't here anymore. I agree that we need a veteran corner.

Agreed, equating an unknown in Adebo with a known in Jenkins, as a reason for not filling the CB2 with a veteran worries me quite a bit. But the “depth” jp is talking about is pretty much the same. I’m on record for saying “play the young guys you draft” but a corner’s psyche can be a finicky creature. If he’s demonstrably ready, then play him, if not…, I’d prefer to not have the ‘let’s hope for the best’ philosophy and instead find a solid veteran CB2. And it will more than likely be too late the longer we wait.

I’m still of the mindset that our three greatest needs are on the defensive side of ball.

1) Janoris Jenkin’s replacement

2) Kwon Alexander’s replacement

3) Malcolm Brown’s replacement.

Adebo is well thought of though:

Can't be veterans if they don't play; we're strong at a number of positions on defense right now and that's an opportune time to phase a rookie into the lineup...

Think of it as taking one step back to take two steps forward...

I think the ship has sailed for Sherman, once the calf and achilles injuries start piling up it's starts the beginning of the end.

I like the way you think JP.

Richard Sherman arrested on domestic violence charge in Seattle, denied bail

.

I'm gonna go and scratch Sherman off the list of possible FA "candidates" for the Saints.
