addition of Bashaud Breeland adds another veteran on a prove-it deal to run with Kendall Fuller and late-season breakout Charvarius Ward. Spagnulo’s penchant to play mainly three-cornerback sets means the team could continue building by adding an early pick like Deandre Baker, Rock Ya-Sin or Joejuan Williams.
