We need 2 cornerbacks in this draft. The best that we can get.
Also remember how we spent our load on Oline last yr and basically ignored the rest of the team? And with all of those Oline picks we are still talking about taking another OT with the first pick this year!
You can't ONLY focus on pass rush or LBers. They have improved that unit already. Time to work on other areas.
Without good to great CB play a pass rush is useless to quick passing (smart) offenses. Pass rush will never get there before the ball is out so you better have some coverage.

If you're going to successfully run a 3-4, you need at least one stud pass rusher. Sheard and Simon are not that. They are likely to be solid rotation pieces, but you still need that blue chip stud. You might be able to get him at 1.15.
I see too many people in this thread suggesting that these LB signings are anything more than filling out the roster. LB is absolutely still a need in this draft.
