I don’t know, that seems kind of expensive to me for an end of roster type guy doesn’t it?

It's really a one year deal and we're paying him what we were set to pay Averrett last year before he got hurt. $2.8M for someone that can be your #3/4 CB and start in a pinch is solid value.

I guess so, just seems more than I’d like for him specifically. It’s certainly not extravagant though. If we bring back Rock which I like and we’ve got Hobbs and Amik and then we draft a rookie CB which I’d like, he’s going to be #4 or #5 possibly. 

Rock, Hobbs, Amik, Facyson plus one of the good rookies would be a pretty solid group IMO plus you’ve got the likes of Webb and Hall battling for roster spots maybe. I could live with that. Of course it all means Jack unless we beef up the DLine 🙂

Having 4-5 CBs you feel confident playing / starting is huge though, we've seen what happens when guys get hurt.

Agreed, can’t have too many solid CBs just like you can’t have too many solid DLine!

Forgot about Hall. He was really good in the games he played. I wonder if they are looking for him to play more this season?

I'd feel better about signing a 4th CB on the second day of free agency if we had a 1st or 2nd CB, lol.

I get what you say, however I think we have our #2 and #3 already in Hobbs and Hall.

I think Tyler will be the NCB after his solid season last year and I think Hobbs will get the #2 spot.

We will re-sign Rock Ya-Sin, sign Sean Murphy-Bunting or draft our #1CB high...IMO

That makes Brandon our 4th guy and Amik our 5th/back up slot. Probably draft another guy later too.

Could be a solid group...

I don't think Tyler Hall has shown enough to be counted on as a full time starter. And Hobbs looked pretty terrible playing on the outside last year, he might be purely a slot guy.

We will see.

Hobbs was battling injuries too if I'm right...

Ideally Hobbs is #3, Hall backs him up and we get 2 true outside guys, but realistically I can see Hobbs #2 and Hall #3...

If we're depending on Hall to start for us, it's probably going to be a very long season.

I can see that potentially happening.

What I'd ideally like to do is bring back Rock as CB #2, then draft a promising CB #1 like Witherspoon, Gonzalez or Porter (potentially after a small trade back, I'd be happy with whichever of those falls). If we traded back to the teens then we could potentially add a second-round pick for someone moving up for QB #4. I'd move Hobbs back to NCB where he excelled as a rookie and we'd have the following:

CB1 - Witherspoon/Gonzalez/Porter

CB2 - Ya Sin

NCB - Hobbs

Depth - Facyson, Amik, Hall, Webb

I think that would be a nice, deep group with the last 4 all battling it out for roster spots and the losers hopefully being able to be retained on PS in case of injuries. I also feel that gives us a little leeway if the rookie struggles a bit we can potentially move Hobbs, Amik or Facyson outside.
