Drafting a cornerback in the first round.

First of all before anyone gets their nose bent out of shape, I would prefer we did not draft a CB in the first round.

For me its not that complicated.
If a CB is the BPA in the 1st we should draft them.

I don't get the reasoning behind not wanting to draft a certain position IF they are the BPA.

Ok, preempt that with "In a perfect world"...

Ok, preempt that with "In a perfect world"...Why? (actual question because im curious how other people view the draft)

The only caveat I have 4 best player available isn't really a caveat. But best player available applies not only to the drafted prospect but to the players on your own team. Meaning if the player you have on your team is better than the player that's available in the draft then that player cannot be the best player available because he's not better than the player that you currently have. But for me that is the only caveat the best player available.

Hell yeah I'd be ok with a CB in the first, why the heck not?

It means we have popular solutions to other questionable spots on the defense.
So we can "afford" to take a CB in the first round.

At this point I view the draft like a lot of others on the Warpath.
We need to pick defense in the first round.
The priority that lies therein is debatable, understandably so.
If we get a hot shit corner back then its all cool.

So if we draft Eli Apple I wont yell WTF in my living room when we make the pick and my wife will scold me.

I feel the same way.

In the first round, you're drafting someone who you think can be a quality starter on your team right away, regardless of position. First round QB's are the exception as they may not start right away in many cases for what I think are obvious reasons. First round picks, other than QB's, must start immediately and they must improve your team. Just my opinion.

so do the Redskins use the escape clause in Culliver's contract and cut him ?

Personally I would keep Culliver for next year. Can never have too many corners.

a $9.2 million dollar back-up ?... he may not be healthy at the start of the season too

Then stick him on the PUP until he is ready to play.

culliver already said it's a two year injury to get back to 100%, he's already had one of these. we may keep him anyways, because you need 2-3 good corners, and he's still a good corner.
