Is Eli Apple The Starting CB?

cause of Awuzie and Apple. Happy Eli finally started gaining a bit of consistency as a player last year under Lou. I don't care 
for his talk off the field but no one can deny his talent. There are many reasons why he was a first round pick.

Dead on, and although this is a good (not great) draft for CBs, it is a staggering statistic of how few CBs drafted past day ONE make it to high heights in the NFL.  I would not be surprised at all if they draft a CB and develop him behind Apple.  Great position to be in and not have to make him a starter from day 1.

As I have been saying on this thread...there is a trend that Apple is ascending and in year 2 of the system with even more pass rush, Fred is right that Apple could be the next Reggie Nelson.
