I agree and that is my point that some folks can't seem to understand....
1) I understand and like the Lattimore pick
2) I still think pass rush trumps secondary ( a good pass rush improves your secondary)
Yes coverage sacks do exist!
3) j Allen was not the right guy for us
4) if Latttimore was already taken, I would absolutely have taken Barnett
5) since Lattimore was there at 11, I understand the pick and I'm happy with it
6) I repeat #5
7) I repeat #5
8) in today's NFL....
The #1 commodity is an elite QB
The #2 commodity is an elite Pass Rusher
9) I repeat #8
10) all the above is just my humble opinion, so let the name calling begin!

Htran90....I totally agree with your comment....
This response is to try to clarify my opinion to the name callers on this site.
I apologize if I have a different opinion than others, but It's not like it's coming out of left field!
It's pretty much a given that the best thing you can do to improve your secondary is improve your pash rush ( pressure the QB, not necessarily sacks!)
Even in today's NFL.....it all starts with the OL and DL. Period.
