In hindsight, sure. But at the time, you would think between Champ, your 5th year former 1st round pick that has shown flashes (P-Rob), and a 2nd round pick (SJB), that someone could have won that spot. Unfortunately, that did not happen. Maybe that could have been more aggressive like they were this year with Browner to get more of a sure thing, but it wasn't Champ or bust at #2. None of the other options happened to work out either.

Agree. Thats why I don't get why he bashed the signing. We didn't throw a lot of money at him and the other options never really panned out. P-Rob was okay playing the nickel but never really took over the #2 spot. Corey White struggled and then spazzed out on that play in the Lions game.

but now we have Browner and like you said we were a lot more aggressive this year in free agency.

now we have two corners who are bigger.

6'4" and 6'1"

we've never had a combo like this before.
