Damn. I sure hope Grier isn't overlooking the corners as much as people here are.
As of right now, we know almost nothing about X other than he had a few good moments in the 15 minutes of time he played. Looked at the you tube highlights a few weeks back and nothing said, on yeah, the next revis. Not a definite shut down, lock down corner (yet). Our cb's have survived by scheming and front end getting opportunistic pressure. Byron Maxwell, Lippett and Bobby McCain are fodder. Even if Howard pans out special, we don't know that come draft day and it's big time, talented corner comes available to us in draft or f/a, we grab them up fast. Our corners are slow and lose most of their battles from what I have seen in the net highlights. Having Howard pan out and a lick down on the other side wouldn't suck. It would be ideal.
Lb and Corner, whichever is the best of those two positions when we pick. After those positions, DE. You always want the best player you can get at the pic so if a corner we like or lb are CT there but if a better talented de is also there, you take that. But my draft day hope is there is actually a talented cb sitting there for us. Lb is PLENTIFUL in this draft.
