I don't think we do agree. You think it's important to have a top CB depth chart. I don't. I think you can win with average joe CBs if you have your front seven fixed. I'd add in a rangy FS to roam the middle of the field and make plays on rushed throws.
It's not like teams have unlimited resources. You have to go cheap somewhere to comply with the salary cap. That would always be CB for me.
I think you need both good pass rush and a sound secondary.
Players like Newman and Ball would still pose problems regardless, that is how we actually beat the Giants.
I agree with the FS,Church may have been an undrafted free agent but his loss is having an impact on the back end.
I also agree if the front seven were fixed then this defense would actually be quite stout with a pass rush and sound secondary.
You simply paid for a free agent in free agency on day one, it will cost a lot and premium pass rushers are like $100 million.
We have needed to draft pass rushers the last three years, then the cost would be low, we need to learn from the Giants.
If you spend a premium on corner, you best draft well for pass rushers regardless of round.
Rob has also not blitzed as much, Ware rushes to the outside and gets pushed up field, the QB simply moves up.
We need pressure up the middle, rush Lee or Carter, use what you do have in light of failing to address the need for the last four years.
