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.
Could be, Apple is talented being a first round pick. Sure he hasn't had a great NFL career but it seemed to turn around for him in
the consistency department after week 8 last season. He got beat some but it usually wasn't bad after that and every #2 that gets
targeted a lot gets beat by great WR play, just happens on every NFL team.
The one problem with Eli's play before he got here was just inconsistency. He would make a great play and then make a bad play
and get beaten, this happened over and over in his career before it started to come around for him here under Lou who I think is a
fantastic Secondary coach and finally grown into a pretty damn good DC late last year and in the postseason.
