most likely, but he fell this far


I think PFF had him as the #8 guy on their big board. Maybe teams aren't sure if he's a corner or safety and didn't want to pull the trigger. I think that has a lot of value, though. Or maybe they just assume he's a safety and his value has dropped along with the position. There's probably a "white CB" stigma at play somewhere too, even if subconscious.

Are there any players on the board that you would swap 2nds and give next year's 3rd to go up and get? I'm almost convinced we're trading Latt and will have another team's 2nd and/or 3rd from next year. But even if we don't, do you see value with anybody still hanging around? (just a 3rd, taking next year's 2nd off the table. Or maybe next year's 4th if it's just a few spots).

For whatever reason, CBs went late last night. I thought Mitchell was a premier talent at CB, too. Didn't make sense.

And yeah there are 2 issues with DeJean, one which may take him off our board. He only really has zone film and likely isn't a boundary CB. We do need a NB, so the boundary stuff doesn't matter, but we run primarily man. However, that's less of an issue at NB and all the choice routes, which make NB much more zone-y

Too many holes and poor cap management should keep this team from mortgaging future picks to slightly improve their current pick.
