1) Delvin Breaux is rapidly ascending and there's no way his phenomenal play can be ignored for long. He is truly a starter who should be covering the top WR's.

2) Damian Swann is right there in the mix with Breaux. He deserves to be our nickel CB.

3) Kenny Vacarro sucks covering TE's.

In my opinion, Browner is our 4th best CB just in terms of all around ability. If we moved Browner to strong safety he may be an upgrade in coverage over Vacarro and that would make KV trade bait.

I was listening til you said trade KV. That will make no sense. Yes KV was beat by the TE so was Browner. KV is younger and can cover wr, his weakness is playing deep zone.

KV is definitely not a shell-shock impact player like he was in 2013, but he still a major tackler on defense. If we traded him, we would need to replace him with a coverage LB or someone else.

We picked up Browner from the Pats with the following caveats - 1) he will get beat as many times as he makes a play in a game, 2) he will cost us at least two 15 yard penalties or interference calls per game.

His biggest problem is he currently is costing us more plays then he makes...
