Why did we keep 7 CB's and 5 Safeties

seems like overkill at the corner position

Cornerback​

• Trevon Diggs
• Stephon Gilmore
• DaRon Bland
• Jourdan Lewis (activated from PUP)
• Noah Igbinoghene
• Eric Scott Jr.
• Nahshon Wright

Safety

• Donovan Wilson
• Jayron Kearse
• Malik Hooker
• Isarael Mukuamu
• Juanyeh Thomas

They can play special teams?

How much of a trade market was there for Kelvin Joseph? Not much.

This was two teams swapping guys they were going to cut otherwise.

Which is crazy because they are taking up a roster spot.

It’s result from modern offense that prioritize the pass game and typically have 3-4 WR set 50+% of the time.

Exactly!!! That's exactly what I said in another thread about the CBs.

I'm sick and tired of Dan Quinn being favored, catered to and coddled. If he's this big defensive football guru, why can't he make it work with the basic starters and only their backups? Why need so much more at certain positions that are taking away from other positions that are lacking?

It's a passing league.
