Do you see the saints trying to pull a trade with the cowgirls for Jenkins since we need depth at cb and he is a solid cb when healthy

I was under the assumption the Cowboys drafted Mo to solidify Jenkins?

Why the urgent need for a #4 CB? We have 3 solid guys under contract for at least two more years.

BPA I'm all for CB and could even see it happening but it's certainly not a critical hole to fill.

agreed. we don't need a starter. a developmental CB in the draft is fine by me though.

CB is a spot we seem to get thin at quickly.

4 is a must.

Prob is still out to prove himself and there's nothing at all written in stone about Johnny Patrick yet.

Letting Porter walk (wasn't that spendy on a 1yr deal) is the proof that PRob's proving period is over.

Patrick was a a solid 2nd Rd rated player that we got at almost exactly the same spot (#88). No reason to doubt his ability. Looked decent when he got some reps after injury. There's more in stone about him as a #88 than most CBs that might be around at #89.

That said, again I think CB is among the top 3 positions with likelihood of having the BPA in this class.

I understand he's on deck now but that doesn't mean his production will come to fruition.

Even giving you J-Pat, still 3 deep is shallow as it gets.

FIFY

You know Jerry Curl blames everything on his secondary, starting with his corners. They already brought in Carr as well. I think Jenkins is better than Patrick.

Maybe we can use the money we were gonna pay CSP to trade for Jenkins?

I think we can get above average corner who has a year left on his contract to prove himself plus our corners get hurt often so having a lot of depth here would not hurt at all

a number of NFL teams would like to contend that point witchu No love for Josh Victorian or Kammal McIlwain?

2 more years for PRob thrill

I'm game for CB, would be happy with it if BPA, just 3 deep doesn't scream need to me. Positionally I think a DT or WR would get more playing time this year than a #4 CB.

For what? Dallas is looking for a 2nd or 3rd round pick. Jenkins wants an extension. We don't have the money. We already have one very good CB making decent money. Robinson isn't making that much and JPat is making dick. We need to take advantage of their fairly cheap labor with so many other players on the team making big bucks.

Difference being our offense/qb make our wr's look good.

Our defense really does not have the ability to make our corners look better than what they are.

And let's not all forget that Malcolm Jenkins has proven to be a solid CB. It's not ideal, but he could always move to CB if we have two of our top 3 guys go down.

If our CB's dont prove themselves this year, they cant blame it on the rest of the defense. Too much talent and youth has been brought in from last year and this year on the DL and LB corp.

None of those players can get after the QB aside from Tez, who rarely sees the field. Williams left our CBs on an island by blitzing the frick out of offenses, and failing. Our secondary is fine and still one of the better ones in the NFL, IMO.
