Did we spend our #1 pick on a slot CB who may have problems staying healthy?
His film looked fine to me, and he didn't seem small. I am a bit concerned about his ability to stay healthy, however. Considering we have two very talented corners on our roster who everyone says can't stay healthy, and thus they thought we should have traded for Malcolm Butler, it's a little odd to pick another corner with injury concerns.

IF, however, he stays healthy, I think he'll be a really good player. I also thought we had bigger needs, but I've already stated my opinion on all of that.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore

Here is his injury history:

Lattimore redshirted his first year at Ohio State in 2014 and played in only seven games his redshirt freshman year in 2015, due to hamstring injuries.[3][4][5] He fully recovered from the injuries to become a starter in 2016.[6][7] On November 29, 2016, Lattimore was named First Team All-Big Ten by the coaches.

Round 1, pick No. 11: Marshon Lattimore, CB, Ohio State

The Saints were able to sit at their No. 11 pick and watch the best cornerback in the draft class fall into their laps due to the run on offensive players in the top 10. Lattimore is a smooth athlete that makes sticky man coverage look easy. Lattimore was targeted 41 times in 2016 and only allowed 18 receptions for 226 yards and one TD. He is also a solid tackler who didn’t miss one of his 37 solo tackle attempts in 2016. Lattimore should be able to start immediately for the cornerback-thirsty Saints, as his 86.0 coverage grade in 2016 would represent an upgrade for New Orleans.

nobody liked the Peat pick either but he's a hoss and played well at LG and LT last year.

Re: Everything to know about Marshon Lattimore

Sources Tell Us "I've studied the top cornerbacks coming out and he's the best I've seen. He's so athletic that he can just post up under the receiver's chin and shadow him all over the field. And he's tough, too. He'll be one of the top cornerbacks pretty quickly." -- Pro personnel director for AFC team

NFL Comparison: Vontae Davis

Bottom Line: Average-sized, one-year starter with explosive athleticism and a loaded tool box. He has the feet, hips and agility to be a lockdown cornerback and the ball skills to make teams pay for looking in his direction. His lack of experience could show up early, but he has the confidence and competitive nature that should help him overcome those issues. He has the ability to become a Pro Bowl cornerback early in his career.

i think less 3 and outs helps our d and any time you can control the clock and run the ball I think it helps your d. I think it helps indirectly.

Circle back to last season ... some (not on this board) thought Michael Thomas was a reach in the 2nd & he is already become a rising star.

I'll continue to believe in Jeff Ireland and company.
