On a relative basis, corners are some of the least-injured players in football. You basically need four of them, plus at least one guy who can play nickel. Boo-Boo, Warren and Turner are all four-star guys -- so perhaps we're one short.
What's interesting to me about Peace is that we still have relatively few WRs in this class. If you believe (as I do) that Cameron Gordon will end up at LB, and everyone else is a slot, we're left with Stonum/Matthews as our only legit outside receivers.
I don't want to say that we intentionally let Peace decommit, but why wouldn't we at least give him a try at WR when we're actually much thinner at WR than we are at CB?
My (vaugely optimistic) conclusions are: 1) We feel good about signing Stokes and/or Stallworth; 2) We probably feel decent about another CB who's not on the Rivals board; 3) We didn't believe that Peace could make a meaningful impact at WR, a position that was very thing.
I believe RR when he says that we'll fill the class at 25 -- and if you figure that, at best, we'll get another OL, another QB, and perhaps a middle LB, positions #24 and #25 will almost certainly be going to WR/RB.
