GB: Morgan Burnett (SS); Nick Collins (FS); Charles Woodson (CB); Tramon Williams (CB); and Sam Shields (CB).

NO: Roman Harper (SS); Malcolm Jenkins (FS); Jabari Greer (CB); Tracy Porter (CB); and Patrick Robinson (CB).

I think those are pretty close... especially with the further progress Jenkins has made.

Thanks FinSaint! Even looking at it written out like this, I'd still take the Packers secondary.. SS Burnett is a guy that can hit (like Harper) AND cover (unlike Harper), that alone gives them the advantage at Safety. Greer & Porter are VERY solid corners..problem is health. I need my corners to be out there for 16 games, which is why I sided with GB. Woodson's added versatility is another reason why I gave the Pack the edge.

Don't get me wrong, Jenkins is a stud, but everywhere else there's some questions...albeit slight ones
