You don't think the guys up front for Denver were helped by the DBs at all? It's not a one-way street.
The debate over which position is more important depends largely on who is available at the pick. If Hargreaves or Alexander are there at 25,the pick is most likely CB. If not, DL makes a ton of sense over reaching for a position of need. Too many DLs with early round talent that can be an immediate help for our defense. If we get to 25 and everyone's favorite NT AND CB are available, I hope we go CB, simply because I see that as a smaller talent pool in this draft, as well as a desperate need. If the pick goes DL, same scenario, I can understand that one too even though I personally would have picked differently.
List our CBs and DLs, DLs need depth badly, we need CBs. One CB that can take away the one best receiver, on this team, is a world changer. We are sooo close.
here is Mike Manock's latest post-Combine CB ranking:
Cornerback
1. Vernon Hargreaves, Florida
2. Eli Apple, Ohio State
3. Artie Burns, Miami (Fla.)
4. William Jackson III, Houston
5. Mackensie Alexander, Clemson
Rise: Hargreaves (2), Apple (4), Burns (NR), Jackson (NR)
Fall: Alexander (3), Cyrus Jones, Alabama (5)
Note: Jalen Ramsey, Florida State (1), moves to safety
