So many rumors, so little real news.

It’s the most dead part of the offseason and probably year as a whole. Nothing to talk about much outside of theoretical moves with minor evidence.

Having an elite front that can consistently apply pressure greatly lessens the need for superior talent in the secondary. Remember how good our 2013 defense was with a bunch of no-names in the backend? We had an excellent unit up front to mask deficiencies in the back.

If they can create a consistently strong pass rush, the backend doesn't have to elite.  

Nit saying we can't use more talent and CB, but I don't see any starting quality CBs laying around. 

With Donte and Jaycee being recurring question marks we could easily bring in Marcus Peters, Casey Hayward or even Byrce Callahan and still be somewhat competitive on the back end. Off the street any of those options serve as an immediate upgrade over Keith & CJ. Specifically CJ. 

It's a reason the staff isn't actively searching for replacements. But I do agree CB is far and away a more pressing need than edge.

As long as Burns, Chinn, Shaq and Luvu are on the same field we can manufacture pressure in this scheme.

People were so skeptical pre-draft that the team needed another legitimate value plug at CB. Some people got angry at the suggestion.

Even without the Horn injury. Achilles are not a one-off-season kind of recovery injury.

it’s probably going to be really rough in the secondary this season unless something unexpected happens

Yep, although if we can't find any decent CB's at some point, upgrading the pass rush opposite Burns can also help out a young and no so great secondary.  That with some quality Safeties that we have, it's not an end of the world scenario, but it's certainly not a great CB outlook right now.

Can we really afford to pay both Burns and Hunter long-term?

No longer an issue--Jets got him--I think.  Saw it on facebook, where they gave a second, third, and fourth rounder--can't find it anywhere else (just started looking)

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
