None of the afore mentioned cbs outside of MM, are really quality cb's in this league. Gay will give you some playmaking ability as a nickle, but you know, Gay HAS played some FS. What about replacing Bullocks with Gay? Might not be a bad move. We would have to acquire a Sheppard or maybe F.Washington, but it might not be a bad move all way round.

Missile, I agree with you totally on replacing Bullocks. I feel that as bad as JD was last year, Bullocks was just as responsible for the bad play in the secondary if not more so. He has never been good. Never will be good. But as far as replacing him, if we do not pick up anyone I really feel that if we just replace Bullocks with KK it will be a significant upgrade. In the games that Kaesviharn started he looked so much better than Bullocks. That doesn't mean that KK is the answer, but I am positive that he is better (I mean Simoneau looked good to me at first after two years of Courtney Watson, sorry to bring that name up again). With Harper now being two years removed from ACL surgery and having another year of experience and KK replacing Bullocks, I feel like our safety play won't be such a liability next year, and might even be a pleasant surprise. Also maybe Phillips can fall to us in round 2, or even better we could trade down and pick him later in the 1st round.
