I get that we all want to see the pass rush improved. What we have to remember is that a good cornerback with coverage skills can help the front seven get to the quarterback just as much if not more than a flashy new DE/OLB prospect, by forcing QBs to hold onto the ball longer and giving the front seven more time to get there.

Considering CBs are like QBs, they usually take time to get higher on the learning curve, I'd go with a OLB/DE type with #13...assuming there was one there that graded to the same level. I understand your logic about a CB being able to slow a QB down, but if you don't have guys on the line who can get to the QB, the best CB will eventually get burned.

With this said, I would not be disappointed with getting the #1 ranked prospect at the CB position. Good value at a position we need more help in.
