a lot of ppl (and mocks for that reason) feel we should draft a cb in the first rd
or that we should at least address it in fa, or early in the draft
but lets take a look at the position as of now:
assante samuel
randall gay
ellis hobbs
chad scott
hank poteat
okay, so its not great, but its def not the worst position for the pats (that reward has to go to the wr's), but even that aside, the pats are obviously trying for a youth movement, at cb its not really needed
look at the top three guys: samuel, gay, hobbs
while samuel is only signed through this yr, thats still three guys that could be around for quite some time, and should only get better
i love hobbs, i think this guy could be a stud
and we are kinda forgetting how good a job gay did down the stretch in 04
samuel dissapointed most of last yr, but started to come on at the end of the yr
wr is obviously a more pressing need, but i think so is lb (we need to add youth, and a fourth lb for that matter at the position)
some could even argue that te, rb, and safety are more pressing needs
te-we need a number three, plus graham is a fa after the yr
rb-we need a young guy to replace dillon either soon, or right away(if he keeps gettin banged up)
s-rodney might not be back to full strength, geno was a huge dissapointment last yr, never making plays, guss scott cant ever stay on the field, james sanders couldnt stay on the field last yr
so, maybe cb isnt so bad
