All aboard the Patrick Peterson orchestra-train?!?!?

CB's are useless unless you can get pressure on the QB.

Yes and No. You can get pressure but if your corners are bad, a good QB-WR combo can eat you up with the short pass. We resign CJ and we will have 2 young talented DE's who can bring pressure (CJ and Hardy). New DC is a Blitz heavy guy which will help bring pressure.

With Blitzing D you have to have Good Corners or you can get eaten up. A shut down corner can also give the blitzers an extra second or 2 to get to the QB.

PP7 is possibly the BPA. He also fits 2 holes for us CB And Return man.

A PP7 Gamble Duo would do Wonders for our new D!

The whole "You just don't take a corner at #1 overall unless there are no better option" is BS. And DT is so much better for #1 then? 1st DT's always seem to take longer to pan out or bust than most positions

Since 2002 here are the DT's that have gone top 10

2002- John Henderson (9th), Ryan Sims (6th)

2003- Jonathon Sullivan (6th)

2004- none

2005- none

2006- none

2007- Amobi Okoye (10th)

2008- Glenn Dorsey (5th), Sedrick Ellis (7th)

2009- B.J. Raji (9th)

2010- Suh (2nd), Gerald McCoy (3rd)

If Peterson is truly a shutdown corner, he is absolutely worth the #1 overall, and if we can trade down to get him all the better. Add to that his return abilities (you might have noticed our special teams have been pure sh*t for some time now) and there should leave no doubt that if he's as good as advertised, he's worth the top pick. I have no earthly idea why anyone would believe a DT at #1 is smart money, while a corner is not. In fact, DT is probably the last position I'd look at for first overall; I'd turn to FAs for that.

I'd go further to say, a true shutdown corner is the most impactful player in football, next to QB.

ST have actually been pretty good this year and unless they really think it's worth it I'd rather not have the #1 pick of 2011 having a bunch of gunners looking to break him in half.

From what I know about Peterson he's a pretty big, durable guy with ridiculous speed, and it wouldn't be the first time a very high first rounder was utilized on special teams for his pure athleticism - and paid off.

Also, I don't think our STs have been very good, but maybe stats suggest otherwise.

There is still plenty of room! We are a train after all. Dining, restrooms, sleeping, and leisure are all still available. Better that sitting on a haybale listening to "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" for the 100th time while pleasuring yourself with a pic of Cam Newton.
