"Same with Ohio State cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Adam Jones is 33, Darqueze Dennard has been hampered by injury, and William Jackson has yet to take a snap. In a league where nickel defenses are on the field almost 70 percent of the time, it’s true. You can never have enough corners."

Reasons why Hobson says we need a CB.

A. Football players get injured.

B. Like a fat kid and cake. You just can't have enough! Imagine if we had 3 first round CBs riding the pine!

C. Dennard has been injured. (Totally different from Kirk. Somehow?)

D. WJ3 doesn't take snaps. Wasn't injured or anything he just doesn't.

E. Shaw isn't a 1st round CB

I get it's draft time and this could all be B.S. but that was some seriously weak coffee.

I can see that happening. They may not be sold on Barnett or the other pass rushers left being worth the #9 pick.  If a guy like Marshon Lattimore or even Mayocks #2 CB, Gareon Conley, are there they may be the pick.  Hopefully they could then look at getting a guy like Zach Cunningham in the 2nd.  Those 2 moves would really solidify the pass coverage. Cunningham could bring a pass coverage LB like we have never had here. If they aren't confident in the ability of drafting a guy who can get to the QB on his own then bolstering the pass D to such an extent you can force coverage sacks becomes just as valuable.
