I don't think we need to get a top tier CB for our #3. I do think you need to draft a young one early REGARDLESS what you do in free agency. It takes time to learn the NFL game and speed.
We should try and sign a Free Agent that is middle of the road, unless we can get a stud for a fair price. I'd take Springs as a stop gap. We need 3 guys that can play pretty tight though.
Unless they change the scheme and don't give receivers these huge cushions it's all moot though. You can't have a safety in no mans land, and a CB 10 yards behind the receiver all the time. Ball just gets lobbed in there each time for a first down.
I don't understand WHY we didn't do what the Giants did to us 2nd half. If we have a pass rushing style 3-4 defense even without blitzing, we should play JAM the receiver to delay them and then mostly man coverage. The front 7 scheme didn't match our DB scheme AGAIN This year. But then I'm not much of a football expert, so maybe I'm wrong. Doesn't makes sense to give up short and mid range passes if you are an aggressive qb sacking d though. Defeats your strength up front and reason to go with 3-4 (unless you want the Parcells 3-4 d again).
