Couple questions:
Is there any reason Fitzpatrick couldn't be converted into a true CB? The guy apparently has sub-4.4 speed, and if he lost just 5-7 lbs. he'd be a legit 4.35-4.38 guy. And wasn't he a true corner at Alabama?
Does anyone think this guy isn't better than the CBs we are fielding now? Excepting Mo Claiborne, as he hasn't been on the field yet.
As for the trading picks thing, unless this season goes completely off the rails, we're looking at picking somewhere south of 29th, right? Basically a second round pick. Not going to get anything good at CB at 29th on down. If Miami will take our 1st round pick, why wouldn't we do that?
For the foreseeable future I'm guessing the only way we get a pick north of 20 is by trading a player for it.
