It's near the bottom of the article.

"We have three UFA corners next year," he said. "So that was a position we looked at in free agency. We got some guys there and we missed on some guys we looked at. We have to look at that position in the draft."

Will Allen is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent (UFA) next year. Joey Thomas and Nathan Jones are also scheduled to be UFAs after this coming season.

He is just stating the obvious. He didn't really reveal anything.
 
W Allen is the best CB we have right now so ofcourse we need to draft atleast 1 if not 2 CB's.
 
I really believe Ireland is one of the top, if not the top young GM in football.

He’s really giving away the farm on this one isn’t he?

Obviously we need DB’s by the boat load so he’s really giving us the super secret scoop!
 
i'd be up for butler followed by sean smith with the 1st 2 picks. What a nice corner combo for years to come...
 
I'm so affraid of getting a corner in the first, i'm specfically speaking of a cornerbacks like darius butler....I see the loose hips, spped etc. He just seems somewhat soft. I like Vontae Davis....or the Smith kid out of Utah. Darius butler just reminds me of jamar " 1st round bust" Fletcher.

you are right about that . i hope like hell we dont take a linebacker with our first pick because i still remember Eddie Moore so there is noneed to travel down this slipery slope again.
 
Butler is a better CB than Smith, Smith just has size. Butler is not soft, BTW

Ireland also said last year our pick would be "A pillar or the defense".

Exactly what I was thinking! Here is the excerpt:

Here's the actual quote of the slip. Ireland said about the first pick, "You hope that he's a pillar of your defense for a long time." Then everyone laughed and it was pointed out to him what he had said. Ireland responded, "A pillar of your defense or offense, your team." Ireland was asked if that was part of a smokescreen, to which he responded, "I'll let you guys decide." Interesting stuff, but who knows what, if anything, it means.
 
im more convinced we draft wr or de/olb with our first pick after reading the headline for this thread...
