Saying that he'd look better with a better front seven isn't saying much either, EVERY CB would look better with a better front seven, that goes for Dennard and Verrett as well as Roby and every other CB in the draft.
That's my point, every cb looks better with a better front seven. We don't have to invest a lot of picks to move up to get Gilbert when we could move up less and still get a good player. I know you don't like Roby as an example, but say we get Verrett or Fuller instead while using less valuable picks to move up. I'd rather give up less early round picks and get a good to great player then blow our picks on a corner with just as many weaknesses and flaws as the corners later in the round.
