BB is terrible at drafting corners. There is a laundry list of busts BB has drafted over the past 15 years. Correct me if I am wrong the only good corer he drafted is Asante Samuel. Not sure McCourty counts because while he was drafted as corner he only had one good season before they moved him to safety. I would love to know what plan B is. I just hope its not the draft.
I think it is premature how people think Butler can step right in as a starter and do good. I think he has some potential and he showed flashes of it in the Super Bowl. But ultimately he wasn't making plays all season.
It seems unrealistic to expect him to emerge as a starter right off the bat in 2015. It might happen but people seem to be pumping him up big time after one very good game.
trade for keenan lewis
sign scumbag culliver
resign browner...should of never released him anyway.
saw cromartie on first take yesterday, he said he wants to win a ring. call him up....browner/cromartie on the outside. better than logan ryan/butler. lol
Just curious as to why culliver is a scumbag? What's his rap sheet?
Former NFL offensive tackle Kwame Harris came out last year, prompting a negative reaction from San Francisco 49ers cornerback Chris Culliver.
“I don’t do the gays, man,” Culliver said last year, days before his team played in the Super Bowl. “I don’t do that. No, we don’t got no gay people on the team; they got to get up out of here if they do.”
He retired.If we become desperate, isn't Finnegan still available?
Well, you could start with Richard Sherman, round 5. Asante was round 4 I believe. Cortland Finnegan was round 7. Chris Culliver was round 3. Brandon Flowers was round 2. Charles Tillman was round 2.Give me a list of CBs in the last decade that were drafted after pick 20 in the first round and became great players.
You will end up with a list of 2, maybe 3 players. All the elite corners were drafted very, very early which is where we rarely pick because we are so successful.
Well, making comments like this when you play in San Francisco shows piss poor judgment. I don't necessarily take issue with people having views that aren't politically correct but if you're in the public eye, it's probably best for you to STFU about them.I don't think it's a big deal at all. But I'm assuming it's cause he said this:
He's apologized since then and has tried to reach out to the LGBT community several times as well.

Because we actually draft consistently well and Seattle doesnt? They hit on Sherman, Chancellor and Wilson and since then had 2 aweful drafts with not a single starting caliber player in a row.
I am very tired of this myth.
Culliver, Finnegan are not the level of skill we were talking about. I give you Flowers and Tillman but to give the full picture both were taken with the 3rd pick of round 2. Finally, Sherman is the exception we all know.
My point being is that you barely get those players when you pick late in the first. You take your shots, some work (Asante) some don't (Ras-I), and this is the same for all teams.
Now developing CBs once they are on the team is a different issue and I am definitely not saying that we can't do a better job.
The early returns haven't been good, but the Seahawks haven't drafted a first rounder in those 2 years.
In 2014 they moved back from #32 to #40 and picked up another 4th rounder (#108). In 2013 and 2015 they decided to give their first round pick away for a offensive player (Harvin, Graham). Those were all decisions that should be taken into account I think. If you roll the dice to pick up players or trade down for more picks then you put yourself under more pressure to draft well with what you have got.
Lets see what they do this year. I am curious to see if their second attempt at a homerun will go better than with Percy.

This could be the year. There's a lot of talent out there at CB, better than last year's class IMO.

Some notes on the cornerback class in this year's NFL draft, as it relates to the New England Patriots. Many are asking "what's next?" after Darrelle Revis signed with the New York Jets and Brandon Browner became a free agent:
1. In an interview at the NFL combine with the Ravens' official website, ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said there aren't many "plug-and-play" cornerback prospects this year. At the same time, McShay said that teams can still get quality players at the position in the second- and third-round range.
