A cornerback with zero interceptions in the most recent season has declared for the NFL draft.

Asher Allen dropped the bombshell this afternoon. We wish him well, but I have to admit that the decision is puzzling.

Asher was one of the bright spots on the defense last year, and it’s arguable that replacing him will be a bigger challenge than replacing Stafford or Moreno. The heirs to the offensive stars might not be direct swappable replacements, but they were at least in line. I’m not so sure we can say the same for the cornerback position.
