I think it is a big myth that you need shutdown corners at both slots. You only need shutdown cornerbacks if you don't have a consistent pass rush from your defensive line.

Look at what the Giants did to the Patriots with an aging Sam Madison (33 years old) and Aaron Ross (not exactly a household name) slotted at cornerback.

I would also say that those who are lobbying hard for a "big wide receiver" are also off the mark. I think we need one but the top of the draft is when we need to find our horses - those guys up front that are going to just create havok on both sides of the ball.

It wasn't that they didnt have good corners because they did, but it was an overal defensive team effort. D-line played a HUGE part in it, but we do need shut down corners for the reason u just mentioned - we don't get a good, consistent rush to the QB.

Get a top-flight CD in DRC if he falls, and then we can address D-line later. The top rated talent at DL wont be available to us lat #21, but a top-flight corner in DRC should be.
