Lewis/Browner are locked in for a few years and aren't old.

I wouldn't say they are old either, but Browner does turn 31 in August. Also, who is our 3rd CB, a position that will get a lot of snaps, right now?

Not trying to be a dick, but the team isn't going to draft who you like. It's definitely possible Waynes could be their highest rated player at 13.

Can get a decent corner in the 3rd for solid depth

That's easy to say from a fan perspective, but that's not how Front Offices think in real life.

I don't see the value of using a pick on waynes at 13 when you can get a position of greater need(pass rush/oline or hell WR) instead. Those are also much safer options than a rookie corner(our draft history doesn't help either).

They can get a guy like peters or johnson with 31 or 44 or maybe carter/doss later.

It just screams like a bad idea to use 13 on a corner when other options make much more sense.

There are a lot of good corners that play well into their 30s. It isn't a position that drops off very much. Greer was still playing exceptionally well at 31 for us, unfortunately he sustained an injury that made him retire.

At the current moment I just don't see the value of going for a CB if either one of Beasley, Shelton, Scherff, White, Cooper or Collins are on the board. Each one of those 6 are slotted as starters for the team that drafts them. Waynes is a nice prospect, but we saw a lot of CB prospects in the first round flame out, it is one of the positions that require a lot of NFL adjustments.

Most likely Terrence Frederick unless SJB makes a huge improvement this offseason. I'm not really too high on Dixon after last season, but it would be nice if he makes a huge improvement as well.
