Everywhere I look the same analysts who say CBs mean nothing and paying them a lot is bad planning say the 49ers badly need CBs! As if the front 7 is not in much higher need of upgrades.
On top of that, they already have Clements tied up for at least another 4 years, Tarell Brown in his 2nd year showing he can be a nickel guy, Reggie Smith a rookie, Spencer will be back next year and has been serviceable.
Why would they waste a top round pick on another rookie CB when they could continue to develop Brown and Smith and pick up an average vet as a stop gap if necessary?
Does anyone in their right minds even think that a 2nd round corner would start? Let alone make any difference and not just get burned repeatedly like every corner when the defense isn't getting to the quarterback?
