Is Eli Apple The Starting CB?

[fredtoast]

Apple is a big (6'1", 200) fast (sub 4.4 forty) former top 10 draft pick.

He could blossom into a great player here like another former first round "bust" did a few years ago (Reggie Nelson). Or he could burn out and flop.

But he has played well enough to be one of our top 3 CBs. I don't think many NFL teams have 3 starting lock down CBs.

We will probably draft a CB because they are so expensive in free agency, but I doubt anyone we draft at #31 will play ahead of Eli as a rookie.
