....and at the end of the day, Kwesi probably trades down for sixer of Bud Light, a Taco Bell gift card, and we draft none of the above.

I think trading down has to be the most likely scenario, unless we really like someone.

I hope we trade down. But there are a handful of players I would have a hard time passing on if they are available. Banks, Bresee and Flowers.
That db room is looking mighty thin with Boyd leaving for the Cards...

Just another guy we didn't want. If we stay at 23, Banks is probably the best option for us if we target Corner.
He is the 4th best CB in this draft and plays a Physical style that Flores covets and is a great scheme fit in press Man to Man coverage. The only other consideration would be Branch because of his versatility, but I'm trying to figure out where you play him when you need to find a spot for Cine, and you signed Murphy who is mainly a Slot Guy.

Forget Branch. We are 4 deep at safety right now and just inexplicably drafted Cine last year who people were saying the same things about. Drafting Branch would be the dumbest thing this front office could possibly do, so maybe you are on to something there.
If we went corner, I really like Kelee Ringo and think he has as much upside as any corner in this draft. He is 20, and physically is a specimen. Flores could do wonders with someone with his size and ability.

Ringo's stock has dropped quite a bit. He's fallen behind Forbes as CB6 in a lot of the positional rankings. After watching the tape on him, he has all the freakish physical tools you would want, but he is usually late on his breaks, allows way too many uncontested catches in front of him, and is a very "handsy" penalty machine with a lot of holding and interference calls against him. He has questionable instincts and anticipation and tries to make up for that with his athleticism. I would still take him over Forbes because I don't want another Dantzler frail body corner on this team and clearly neither did Flores. I would still rather have Banks, but if Flores thinks he can correct some of the issues he has, he definitely has the potential to be a long term starter for any team. I would only take him if we could execute a trade down to the end of the first or early second.

I think if you got his combination of athleticism and physical tools with the right coaching he could be a special player. I like the idea of Flores coaching him up because there might not be a better man coverage, press corner in this draft based on potential. He is only 20 and there is a real chance he could come out of this as the best corner in the draft. I'd have him only behind Gonzalez and Joey Porter based on that potential and he would be a great fot for what Flores wants to do. I like Banks also as long as the shoulder checks out. I'm not in favor of going corner in the first round because I think there's some depth in the draft we have needs at other positions, but there's some talent at the top.

If we pass on Corner in the first, especially on a trade down, there are plenty of options to look at in the 2nd/3rd.
These three are all Physical and lengthy Press Man Corners who could be a really nice fit in Flores' scheme:
Tyrique Stevenson, Juju Brents, and Cory Trice. Like you mentioned, CB is deep so I won't panic if we don't get one in the first round.
