I could definitely see that if we pick up a vet capable of starting at CB, or if more than the top 2 corners were off the board so there wasn't any corners worthy of the 19th pick (I think Fulton certainly is). As it stands were looking at starting corners of Mullen (who played really well, especially down the stretch as a second round pick last season) and probably Isiah Johnson who was a 4th round pick that barely played due to injury last season. 

In a perfect world we trade down some if the board falls this way. Since there aren't any trades if we look at LB someone like Baun makes sense because he could play SLB and rush off the edge. 

Investing a pick in Murray (who I really like btw) isn't going to add as much to the team since were in 2 LB sets the majority of the time. Corner or edge makes much more sense since we're in need of a starter and depth at corner, and edge rushers can be rotated enough that a guy not necessarily being a starter there isn't a huge deal. 

Agree with most of this but with regard to the starting CB situation at present I wouldn't rule out Nevin Lawson. Covered pretty well last year, good tackler and experienced vet, he's got hands like feet but I'd say he's #2 by default at the moment and he could do a solid if unspectacular job holding down a CB spot until either a rookie takes over or Isaiah steps up.
