That being said, it's hard to account for injury. Yeah, James is injured but if he comes back healthy and picks up where he left off, no one is going to be saying that was a bad pick by SD.
This year we're NOT comparing an OT versus a Safety.
This year, we are comparing two defensive players....and we were drafting with the primary goal of fixing the defense by adding pass rush.
Pretty clear to me that Allen is way ahead of where CF is in that department. That's not to say that CF won't improve, but it's pretty hard to deny Allen is way ahead of him at this stage.
Mackin's question is a legitimate one. If we got a do-over I'm pretty sure Mayock goes in a different direction than CF. Of course, there's no do-overs, and we'll never know for sure, but that's my take on CF vs JA.
