It’s entirely possible that’s the route they go. But it will depend more on BPA than position group. Look at Holmes’ track record. They ID their guys and will go and get them, damn what the pundits say. If he stays at 29 he could go in any direction.
Dude you should really stop posting until you learn a little about the game. You obviously know very little about Davis as your views are on the boarder of being incompetent. Lol , every time you post this crap you show everyone here that your not really up on the game or players.
Not saying it can’t happen but ask yourself when was the last time a late first round or second round CB came in and set the world on fire as a rookie.
CB is far different than TE. Very few TE’s are drafted round one so when you draft one where we did with Laporta you’re getting one of the top TE prospects in the draft. But…… by round two or pick 29 most teams have already jumped on the top 4-6 best CB options in the draft. GM’s reach for CB’s far more than they do a TE by pick 29 we could be taking the 7th best option. It’s much harder to hit when your options are more limited to choose from.
If you look at last years draft 4 CB’s were gone by pick 29. If you look at 2022 5 DB’s were gone by pick 29. Daxton Hill was taken by Cincy at pick 31
In 2022 the first TE taken was pick 55. In 2023 the Lions took the 2nd TE at pick 34.
My point is at 29 you get the best TE option in most drafts while you get the 5th or 6th best DB option.
All I said was compete to start by the second half, still a bit lofty perhaps but that is why I mentioned LaPorta. Surprises happen every rookie class. Yeah the track record for corners is as you point out, a rough road. But if the kid, even if he is a third day pick, is the dark horse nobody else sees, Holmes legend will continue to grow. Some CB in this class is going to shock. Who finds him?
