I think JD is building to that point of having players at every position in the pike and developing. He showed that last year with a couple of his picks and possibly with some of his late round picks this year, but first things first. IMO he needs to get competent starters and STs first, then he can worry about developmental prospects in the pipeline.
IMO CB won't be the first position picked. In a zone scheme CBs are less important, and they are less important when one has a very strong pass rush. I fully expect DE to be our 1st pick next year and Thibodeaux continues to be the top prospect at that position, I hope that we'll trade up and take him.
