We Aren't Targeting a CB in Round 1

You forgot to mention Newman and Trufant. Why? Because the had good years. Newman was the 4th rated corner before he worked out. After he worked out and ran, he became the top corner in the draft. Kinda souns like Hall to me. So, yeah I believe Hall and Robinson can be just as good as Newman and Trufant so I am not againt drafting either of them. Who\'s to say we can\'t draft a starting linebacker in the second round? I guess since your the expert on 2004 NFL draft linebackers you know better.
I didn\'t mention them because they were looked upon as lockdown corners long before the draft and they had solid rookie years. I was just pointing out that the top 3 CB\'s in this years draft are only as talented as the 3rd, 4th and 5th corners from last year and that we can probably find a better corner in round 2...a corner that is only in round 2 because he went to a small school (like tillman & mathis last year).
And I don\'t know where you were going, but Newman was rated as a top 2-3 corner his entire final season of college and Trufant was right there with him. The top three corners in this years draft aren\'t half as talented as those two guys.

And I know we can get a starting LB in the 2nd round. Hell, you can probably get a very good LB in the 2nd round this year (like, rod davis). But do you want a very good LB, or an elite LB? I\'ll take elite any day. Ray Lewis or Mike Peterson, that is basically what it amounts to. I would be happy with either, but I would much rather have Ray.

If we take Dunta Robinson, I will hope for the best. But it\'s going to take time for him to develop and just do not believe that we have time to develop a corner now.
