We've only got two corners who are taller. Oliver is 6'0 and new signee Rashaan Melvin is 6'2.

Our current number one corner (Jackson) is only 5'10.

The one CB we looked at this offseason was 6'2" and isn't Snow quoted as saying he likes fast and long CBs?

As long as they are on cheap rookie deals that's fine. We are doing what we can with what we have. So far, none look like they should be a part of the long term plans yet and someone has to play NB. If we flipped that entire unit by the end of the next draft I would be ecstatic with the process.

I can understand passing on him, but just basing it on height? 
 

I guess you would have passed on Revis also? 

One, this guy isn't a Revis level player or he wouldn't have been cut. Two, I would take Woodson over Revis everyday if we are playing choose the great CB. 

It's not just height. It's price, skills and height. If we are talking big contracts then they better have some height on them or be a freak athletically.

What if he was good and under 6’, would you pay him then? 
 

A good player is a good player, his height might be reason he is good or bad but by itself it doesn’t tell you anything and using it as a singular metric to decide on a player is poor evaluation.

Don't know. He was exceptional so I wouldn't think it would change much other than his normal self was great and would be better in that scenario. And yes price matters. 

That's true but it can be a deal killer when they are not good enough at that position. This guy in discussion doesn't look worth it unless we are talking one year get into the next draft and take a CB in the 1st if we still have it. 

The NFL has changed their rules dramatically to favor the WRs in those matchups. Everything matters at CB because they are playing a position where it's not fair. I'm hoping, from what I have heard from F/R/S, that by the end of next offseason we will have better options at CB and FS. I just don't think we have the luxury to make much of a dent this offseason with neglecting the O last offseason.

Somehow, we are like $28m under the cap, according to Newton (SI).  We need a CB so that we can look for a T in round 2 or in the event we have to trade the second round pick.

Time to do something.  I think we land one of the free agents by Thursday at the latest.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
