With or without Peters CB should be one of many positions they consider in the 1st round. In free agency they still need to either re-sign Robey-Coleman or find another slot CB like Colvin from the Jaguars.
But in the Draft I see no reason to dismiss the top CBs. The Draft is about long-term talent infusion and sometimes the best guy to take is not at one of your top 2-3 'need' spots (i.e. Donald in 2014). Right now neither Peters, Hill or any other other CB will be there past 2019 so if you can draft a top-flight CB that's considered a top 20ish player and have him through 2022 couldn't that be one of several smart directions to take? I would say yes.
Personally I think it's very likely they trade down, even if it's a minor move (like say just #23 to 26 with old friend Atlanta for a 4th and 6th). I think Snead and McVay will want to obtain another top 75 pick somehow.
