So we've lost Cully as of 3/1315. And will probably lose Cox... That makes Brock the #1 easily right now. Does this mean we MAY potentially grab a corner in the 1st? You'd have to think at least 2nd.

Just surprised how we weren't able to re-sign EITHER of Cully or Cox...... I thought we were all about our own guys? Why can't we ever resign anybody who hits FA?

Hopefully Kenneth Acker will be a pleasant surprise..

Fixed... and then the hyperbole:

"Why can't we ever resign anybody who hits FA?"

The reason it seems we can't re-sign players as soon as free agency starts is because as soon as free agency starts they're going to be over paid. until the first week is over and then it becomes a buyers market

I'd feel a lot better about our CB's if Donatell was still here. Nothing against Tim Lewis but Donatell was outstanding.

I'd prefer we add depth through FA and draft mid to high for potential starters for our CB position.

Wright would likely be some backup insurance in the slot with Ward as the starter. This FA tells me that Baalke either wants to go ahead with Johnson as the starter on the outside or will draft a CB early.

We only added Cook as depth last year, after losing our two starting CBs and that seemed to work out okay.

We're about to lose our two starting CB's again, they need to re-sign Cook.

This seems to happen every year and we remain at top 5-10 defense in the league. Baalke will figure it out, not even worried.

Yah that was with Fangio at DC with Ed Donatell as DB coach.

Kenneth Acker was solid before his injury and watch out for Keith Reaser kid would have gotten drafted much higher of it wasn't for his ACL kid is a baller
