I haven't watched today's Combine for the DB's ... but it sounds like 2 of my favorites CB's for our 2nd round pick Gareon Conley and Chidobe Awuzie opened some eyes with their workouts. Did Teez Tabor just run mid 4.6's? Actually doesn't surprise me ... never been a huge fan of his. Now I see why he's always gambling ... My boy Lattimore sounds like he lit up the stop watch. Looking forward to watching the drills as DB drills are my favorite part of the Combine.

think both Lattimore and Conley will both go in 1st round.

I like both the Washington corners.

A lot of the corners tested well. Looks like a good draft to grab at least two corners.

Fabian Moreau tested really well and could be one of the sleepers in this class. Mayock spoke very highly of him yesterday. I thought the other Colorado corner looked good too, Akeilo Witherspoon. Long guy but has movement skills of a smaller guy.

I think Kayvon Webster from Denver should a FA target - shouldn't be expensive and can compete for a starting spot with some of the young guys we're expected to draft.

A kid many are projecting as the Eagles pick in Rd 1 (Washington's Sydney Jones) appears to have suffered a significant leg or ankle injury at his pro day.

Terrible news, although I'm not shocked. Sidney is so paper thin, that he may be injury prone.

Torn achilles ... he's done till 2018. Horrible for the kid ... bad for us in that he was a legit target for us at 14.

Trade 14 and move back a few spots? Conley anyone?

I would trade back in a heartbeat ... aside from Marshon Lattimore, Sydney Jones was the only other Corner imo worth a top 15 pick. I do like other Corners a good deal, but I don't see any other worth a pick that high ... so I would probably go with another position if we stay put. I'm a fan of G Conley, but imo he wouldn't be anywhere near the BPA at 14.

Oh man that is terrible, for him and for us. Now the likely CB at 14 just got tighter. Marlon Humphrey perhaps but he may be gone too, and now it would be someone like Teez Tabor who I don't like. Only ran a 4.6 at the combine and reportedly has off-field issues.

Draft him in the 7th round, and keep him on I.R. for a year.

I would take a shot on him in the 5th or 6th round.

That is the guy I want, which means no way in hell they get him. If I am Howie I am on the horn to Chicago right now. They signed three CB have 13 on the roster. See what it would take to get Kyle Fuller.

If we're thinking of taking a flier on Sid Jones, we might have to get him as early as 3rd-4th round, if teams believe he'll recover 100%. His injury was a freak occurrence - he's the top rated guy on many boards in a stacked class. Jaylon Smith went in the 2nd for a much more severe injury. I would think hard about taking him in the 3rd, definitely would take him if he slips to the 4th.

Would you trade #14 for Malcolm Butler, Patriots? He can be had for the right deal, as he will be a free agent next year and will cost a lot of money. I wouldn't, but I would give u #43 + a player or two that we are not counting on. Thoughts?

I would love to be able to trade for Butler or Fuller.
