Yeah, that could very well be the reasoning, but continuing to field the worst secondary in the league as we push to make the playoffs isn't worth keeping a 4th round pick over a 5th round pick.
We used to have this same issue. When we drafted Leon Hall and JJo both had to play. Now we can ease a guy in there and not live with the constant screw ups rookies make. And in the mid to late first you don't get untouchable corners right out of the box.
What you guys have going is that the Tampa 2 corners are Easier to find because it's a simple skill. Where the issue comes is when your guys get put into man coverage. The bigger issue is the safety play in tomlin's system. You need ball skills, which is why they are trying to put the Maryland corner into a safety.
