I think Munnerlyn would be a great addition, personally. Lewis and White as #1 and #2 CBs with Munnerlyn in the slot? Hell yeah.

Maybe "sucks" is a strong word, but he's basically only good at nickel. We don't need a #3 corner. We might need a #2, depending on whether or not you think one of White or Robinson is up to the task.

I personally think White can stay at #2 and be great, but that's just me. But I'm also not opposed to moving him back to nickel. He's proven to be a good player at both positions. But whatever position we stick White at, imo we'll need to address the other one in either FA or the draft. I'm willing to give PRob a chance, but I'm honestly not expecting much. I'd love to be proven wrong, though.

I would love it if we drafted Jason Verrett out of TCU. That guy has cover skills you can't teach. He'd make an immediate impact imo.

+1. You aren't alone on JVerrett. He is a bit undersized for me but very crafty and has good closing speed. What is more impressive to me is that he is a sound, fundamental tackler.
