William Jackson III (4.37 forty) was drafted right before Burns in 2016 and had last season to absorb some things even though he didn't play. William Jackson III is a faster player which makes it easier to recover from mistakes during a play.
Hobson needs to look at the Artie Burns situation.
We could Draft Clemson corner Cordrea Tankersley in round 3 for depth and he is projected as future Starter material.
Tankersley would be a mid 2nd round pick most years but this Draft Class is DEEP at corner.
My source on this was former GM Charlie Casserly on NFL Network who likes Tankersley who ran a 4.40 forty and projected him to mid round 3 due to deep class.
We don't even have to use a 1st or 2nd round pick on a corner for depth and William Jackson III could be starting before mid season.
No need to keep Pac Man and the Locker Room would take on a New Aura without Pac Man's dominant personality.
We have Keivarae Russell who they love in the building. He was a 3rd round pick from the chiefs last year that ended up on our team after being cut by the Chiefs. Apparently he had some issues early on adjusting to preparing like a pro, but all reports from Bengals are they really like him a lot. I don't think we are short on CB depth, we don't need Jones we just choose to keep him.
