Questions about the cornerback position and compensatory draft picks in our latest Seahawks’ mailbag.

Question: TruthisTold2U asked: Odds a Stanley Jean-Baptiste or Tharold Simon can breakout and be that missing CB Seattle needs opposite Richard Sherman?

Answer: I’d put the odds much lower on Simon (or meaning, there’s a better chance he can be that player) than Jean-Baptiste. Jean-Baptiste, recall, was signed to Seattle’s practice squad late in the season after being released by two other teams earlier in the season — New Orleans, which drafted him in the second round in 2014, and Detroit.
