@GunnerBill, @Buffalo716 have y’all had a chance to check out Zyon McCullom? Played in FCS, but has size and speed 

I have 

 

Ive seen a bit of him but not enough to do a full report 

 

I'm working on it... But he's intriguing

 

 

[Southern_Bills]

I would draft 2 early just like we did DE last year. Wouldn't solve the issue week one, but gives us a fighting chance.

 

If that's done, with Poyer/Hyde and Tre coming back (week 6/7?) We would be fine come playoff time.

I think I’m leaning toward Andrew Booth, then McDuffie, because of the arm length...But both are solid prospects for #25...

And most likely both won’t be there.

Trade a 3rd or #4 for a low cost proven veteran starter

 

Thanks for asking

Patrick Peterson was doing everything for the Vikings last season, a guy who could also mentor Dane Jackson and Johnson, hell even Tre White. 

I like this. Sign Peterson and draft a CB in the 1st round.

Patrick Peterson's deal with Vikings rated among worst in free agency

Dane and a couple of draft picks will compete for the CB2 spot, Dane will be their front runner to win the job.  At this point, we don't have the cap space for a high priced FA

[ddaryl]

 At this point the best we can hope for is a strong move for a CB in the draft and a June 1st vet that was cut from another team IMO.

There's more interest in Bradberry.

Who is CB1 if White misses the first month or two?

I'm hoping/praying Tre will be ready week 1

We all are, but season could be lost early if you trot  out Dane Jackson and a mid-round rookie or Cam Lewis as starters for the fist month or more.

If there is one thing I’m sure of, it’s that Beane and McD are not sitting around with their thumbs up their arses wondering what to do about CB.  They aren’t blindly hoping Tre is back at 100% for W1, and they aren’t going to trot out players who are unprepared.

 

They have a plan — we just aren’t privy to it.

 

I’m fine with waiting to see what it is.

If I had to bet, I would say we are taking a CB with our first rounder. Likely lots of good options available at that pick.

I know CB is a huge need but I just don’t understand the narrative that it will be a CB in the first round , it will all depend who’s on the board assuming we stay out at 25

If things stay as is, imo, they will not wait until the late rounds to draft a corner. In 2016 the Panthers had a pressing need at corner having lost Josh Norman. And they waited until their second round pick to address it with James Bradberry. He turned out to be a good player, they drafted Vernon Butler in the first because the corner value just wasn’t there. In the process they passed on Xavien Howard. Ooops. They followed that by drafting Daryl Worley in the 3rd and Zach Sanchez in the 5th. I can’t fault their process there, but they went quantity over quality, and I am not sure that is the right move. 
 

It’s going to come down to value and fit, but to me, the corner strength/value in this draft is between mid first to mid second. If you pass on a corner in the first, I think it could be a big risk and there may not be any left by the time you get to your second round pick.

My guess Dotson or Olave Rd 1.  Trade up in rd 2 for McCeary.

Xavien Howard was a second round pick as well , again my point was is that Bean won’t draft a CB in the first round if he’s got a 2nd round or later grade on him

Agreed he won’t reach

I trust these coaches developing secondary players. Get offensive weapons early and draft a couple corners mid to late.
