Fitzpatrick isn't a CB in the NFL. He's a zone DB which is why he's been playing safety. He doesn't have the desired agility for man coverage, which is what Wade would love to play but he can't because he doesn't have the boundary CB's for it. That's why they drafted David Long to replace Talib next year. It's why it wouldn't surprise me if drafted another CB somewhere in the first 3 rounds.
If you are going to convert Fitzpatrick to a CB, they have a better prospect in Gervase who has the speed and agility to play man coverage on the boundary. IMO it will be interesting to see if Gervase is coached up as a CB while on the PS this year. He's got 4.4-4.5 speed, at 6'1" and posted a 6.8 in the 3 cone. All that along with his game film literally screams boundary CB. Long and Gervase could finally give Wade two outside CB's to play man coverage.
