The only thing I don't like about signing a high profile CB in FA is the cost. Teams usually have to overpay for good ones who aren't either over the hill like Sherman or injured like Verrett. I would prefer a draft pick if they can find a good one in the 2nd round. Trading Jimmy will open a lot of cap space so it's not out of the question that they could sign one but I don't want to overpay.
Lets be real, we should probably do both. Sign Davis and draft Kaiir Elam with our 2nd rd pick. That leaves us with a need at edge, but you can't have it all.
i think Lenoir and thomas still show a lot of promise i would still sign a veteran CB instead of norman though. It shouldnt cost too much because the FA CB market is weak
i would focus draft on RG and EDGE
Was just looking at the CB free agents for next year and you're right. A very weak market for sure. There are plenty of draft options at CB and S this year. Don't think the Niners will re-sign Tartt because of his injury history. Like the idea of signing Davis, but Elam will not be there in the 2nd round. Guys like McDuffie, K. Gordon, M. Emerson or D. Kendrick should be there when the Niners pick in the 2nd.
Maybe I am wrong but this overall class seems to be weak compared to the last two years. Looks like it really falls off after that second round.
Imo, a lot of quality corners:
Andrew Booth Jr., Clemson
Allie Green IV, Missouri
Taiwan Mullen, Indiana
Trent McDuffie, Washington
Kyler Gordon, Washington
Mykael Wright, Oregon
Alontae Taylor, Tennessee
Avery Young, Rutgers
Kaiir Elam, Florida
*Jermaine Waller*, Virginia Tech
Derion Kendrick, Georgia
Cam Taylor-Britt, Nebraska
Mekhi Garner, Louisiana
Joey Porter Jr, PSU
Garrett Williams, Syracuse
Roger Mccreary, Auburn
Tre'Vius Hodges-Tomlinson, TCU
Riley Moss, Iowa
