Apple is definitely going in the first.
Hopefully at 13

I think Apple goes in RD1 tonight. I would be on the phone if he was there late in RD1 to move up if I had already taken a non CB.
I do think the CB's go later in this round and then a run starts.
I don't know why people assume apple is a lock to start year one anyway.
Rookie cornerbacks, especially 20 year olds, find the NFL to be a very harsh world. Yeah we need another press cornerback, but there is 0 guarantee he starts and is productive.
Drafting a cornerback, because you need/want one, is a complete reach IMO. 1st pick should be about finding game changers, I don't see anything to suggest Eli is anything close to that yet.
Have you guys seem what happens when you play a rookie cornerback? There the guy the offense targets. No matter how good or bsd they are, they are the target. I don't think Eli is ready for that personally.
We don't need him to be good in year one. Take some lumps. It's about the development of him and his physical talent. Hoping Joseph can mold. I expect Maxwell will be the #1 guy by default so whoever we get will likely not have to deal with alpha threats
Can't keep up with all the poster here. I suspect you're also against selecting Jack in the 1st.So were drafting in the 1st rnd to fill a position for a player who may not even start? Makes no sense, if we draft a cornerback that high were expecting them to Start. If it's apple, he will be the most targeted player in the NFL most likely. You better be sure he's worth that 13 pick if you make that move, because your passing more talented/polished players at other positions to do it.

A second boundary corner is still a starter, and I'd rather him go out there and learn than ride it out with the rest of what we have
