I also ask myself why would we try out 2 CB while we have him waiting in the wings the only thing that I could come up with is he's not ready. Raw projects take time look at JR.(UDFA), SJB(2nd round) big difference but still raw projects but if Dixon(UDFA) is more ready I'm all for it and if Dixon would become a shut down CB and keep SJB or Robinson or whoever challenged him for his spot off the field I would be fine with it, it's competition that makes things better, from 1st round picks through UDFA.

True, and CB is one of the odd positions. Some come in and develop quickly, like Trufant and Alford for the lowlife Falcons, and some take quite a while, like our own Jabari Greer and Keenan Lewis did.

I think we all knew SJB would take quite a bit longer than normal to develop. He was raw coming out and it shows. Dixon may be more game-ready due to his experience at the position. He probably had a smaller learning curve.
