CB or DE / DT That is the Question

If at first you don't succeed, try, try again.

Is that quote used in reference to this discussion?

We have discussed this topic to death on this site and the answer is:
It depends on who you talk to.

If you watched the Giants/Pats Superbowl then it would seem pretty clear that the less time a QB or RB has to make a decision or if the QB/RB has no where to go but down, then your secondary does not need to be comprised of "elite" CB's.

So the front four are the most important on the defense.

Personally though, I'm a linebacker guy. I've been so since the early 90's (I don't know why).

We've been deprived of good to great linebackers for so long it's depressing.
