I, like some, don't think J.Lewis or A.Brown can be trusted to play the outside. Plus if one of these guys go down, then what?
We just signed two DT's and drafted a DT last year, so I don't see DT as a early need. I'm thinking we draft another one later on in the draft.
We still have Jelks, Jackson, Armstrong, Tank, and Crawford that can play DE. Not to mention the indefinitely suspended Gregory and Aldon. So that's six DE's.
So if you look at the three positions CB would be the one that will suffer the most due to one injury.
After the draft free agency is still an option at all of those positions. But I'd feel way better about our defense if we use four picks on that side of the ball this year. It really doesn't matter to me what position they take first. Just fill the holes on the defense.
