I don't think that's a mistake. We need a CB that can come in and be an impact player right away and we simply aren't getting one with our younger guys. Someone like Justin Gilbert could fill a void that we've needed filled for a long time. He's got the size, speed, and hands for it and a CB like him would help against a team like the Bears who have big, physical WR's. I'd be fine with a CB.


after hearing that Houston might miss some time or even the season, I think we are more pressed to draft one early, yes.

HOWEVER

rookie cornerbacks usually struggle heavily, and for a team in "win now" mode, maybe that's not the route we take.

Dee Milliner for instance, was pretty awful last year

You have to take into account that Dee Milliner fucking sucks though. Said that last year, saying it now. If Dee were in this draft he'd be a third rounder.

The more I think about it, Mayhew knows that he needs to win now or else get fired, so I think he might actually trade up to get that "elite" prospect whether that is Mack or Watkins and whether it is a good or bad move for 5 years down the road


I'd prefer Mack over abybody--but there's tons of exciting players in this draft--I'm amped to see who we snag.

I don't understand what was the point of re-signing pettigrew and they better hope Waddle is gonna be a savior for them at right tackle

Pettigrew is a great blocker--I think we should keep both of them--it's very solid

Fauria proved last year he's not a consistent player. Ebron changes everything--I like the pick a lot
