What now at corner?

I could see us drafting one and singing a vet to a one year deal. Let the vet start the season until the rookie gets his feet wet. Then let the rookie take over similar to what we did with Armstead.

We'll sign a CB or 2 in free agency, but not any of the top guys like Verner, Grimes or Munnerlyn. Especially considering we need to replace or resign 2 O-Linemen and a free safety.

As long as we can maintain our pass rush, we can make do with any whichever way we decide to go. If it's via free agency, I don't feel as if we need to spend lavishly. If it's via draft, I don't feel as if we have to spend our first round pick on a corner. Who knows... the answer may already be on our roster. It's certainly an area of concern, but not as big as what it's perceived to be in my opinion.

Given the CB depth in this draft we don't need to go out and spend the first round pick on one, plus it's going to be a buyer's market again for vets. That being said, we can get some depth in FA for a good price and the mid rounds of the draft, plus we still have Robinson and White.

We don't want anything to do with Captain Munnerlyn. He sucks.

I am very comfortable with Lewis/Robinson/White and a top rookie. Maybe even see about bringing back Tracy Porter who had a bounceback year in Oakland playing the nickel. Or somebody like Cassius Vaughn who has starting experience and good ball skills.

I'm not sure how much stock you put into ProFootballFocus, but according to them Munnerlyn was actually very good this season.

I do remember Carolina fans hating on him when he was their #2 CB a couple years ago, but I think they moved him down to slot CB, and it seems like he's thriving at that position. I think Munnerlyn would be a great addition, personally. Lewis and White as #1 and #2 CBs with Munnerlyn in the slot? Hell yeah.

Maybe "sucks" is a strong word, but he's basically only good at nickel. We don't need a #3 corner. We might need a #2, depending on whether or not you think one of White or Robinson is up to the task.

I personally think White can stay at #2 and be great, but that's just me. But I'm also not opposed to moving him back to nickel. He's proven to be a good player at both positions. But whatever position we stick White at, imo we'll need to address the other one in either FA or the draft. I'm willing to give PRob a chance, but I'm honestly not expecting much. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

I would love it if we drafted Jason Verrett out of TCU. That guy has cover skills you can't teach. He'd make an immediate impact imo.

+1. You aren't alone on JVerrett. He is a bit undersized for me but very crafty and has good closing speed. What is more impressive to me is that he is a sound, fundamental tackler.
