I get not wanting to move Hill around again. But at the same time, I'd rather have our best 3 corners out there more often.

Now, if we are not gonna in base nickel, it does not matter as much

I thought Newton showed he can be a good NFL CB.

To me, the good news is Newton was forced under fire as a rookie to show if he belongs. It is almost automatic, teams see a rookie late round CB on the field, that WR becomes option #1. Newton had some bad plays and some good plays.

I like our CB room even without Hilton. I think they can develop into a long term strength if we can keep them healthy. Turner was picked 60th in 2023, so very young. Hill was picked 31st in 2022, so very young. Britt was picked 60 in 2022, so very young. Newton drafted 149th pick in 2024. A young and atheletic group may be our breakout position group in 2025. Wilson and Ivey young. I thought Wilson showed a lot of speed last year.

It sucked losing or 2 starting CB's in 2025, but by end of the year the CB's had improved and gained valuable experience, hope it pays off in 2025 and beyond.
