Yeah

Our CBs are worse than our DEs

We really just need 1 more legit CB though. We probably aren't going to cut Breaux, PJ Williams, Sterling Moore, or Crawley. You also have Swann & DeVante Harris as options.

Getting 2 DE's could be very beneficial for next season & in the long run. We really need to hit on this position for next year...taking 2 only increases those odds.

I'm not saying that I want to take 2 DE's but DE is the only position that I would even consider double dipping in.

A reason not to take 2 DE's is that it prevents us from acquiring a RB, OT, LB, or Safety in the top 3 rounds. If our FO has a very high grade on both of the DE's...I wouldn't have a problem with it. Can't just take 2 DE's, just to take them though.

True, but even good corners struggle without a pass rush. A good pass rush can cover up for mediocre secondary players.

Cornerbacks or nothing without qb pressure, I think edge rushers are more important

Good DL makes average DB look elite

What's the old saying, pass rush improves your secondary...

would Tre White be where he's at, if LSU didn't have Arden Key forcing the issue? You're not going to cover NFL receivers for 4-5 seconds with anybody.
