Was Darius Slay the last one, 13 years ago?!?!?
And who is before Slay? …Andre Goodman in 2002?
Like, have we really only drafted 2 CB’s worth a pinch of poop in 30 years?

Slay, Bly…
That’s all I got until you get to the 90’s.
Dre Bly wasn’t a draft pick, we signed him as a free agent from St. Louis.

Do we count diggs if his best play was at safety?
In my life: Slay and Crockett
What an abysmal joke of a team

Draft seven of them in the next draft until we finally get one that can play, let’s solve this through volume. Nothing else seems to be working
Or we could just recognize that we can get one via trade right now from the Steelers for 2-3 draft picks…

Bryant Westbrook had 6 picks in 2000 in his prime at 26 after a tough 2 seasons and injury history before that.. and then Achilles.

I agree, Westbrook was just coming into his own, was turning into a real weapon, then achilles.

Westbrook was on his way to being one of the best in the business before the injury.

Close only counts in horseshoes, hand grenades, and wishing the Lions didn’t suck so much
So was Arnold, until he shot himself in the foot.
I don’t remember but did he ever play again? Didn’t they try him at safety for a hot minute and then he retired?

Actually, Chris Cash was better than Goodman during their respective rookie seasons; however, Cash suffered an injury which basically ended his career.
