I fixed your list a little and it may change some votes.
Yes, watching Duane Starks would have been funny -- if he wasn't playing for the Patriots.

All I know is that this is the first time in the BB era we don't have a Pro-Bowl league top 5 #1 corner.
Still would give a third rounder for Lito Sheppard in a minute. He has the ability for a pro bowl or two with us. I see an upgrade over Hobbs or start opposite Ellis.Spot on response, be carefulthough, Hobbs haters do not like to deal with fact.
The success of the '08 secondary is 100% tied to the success of the seven guys playing in front of them. If they can bring the kind of pressure expected, we are going to look very, very good.

I'd try and offer a fourth rounder first, but a 3rd round pick is probably a fair trade for Sheppard - I also wouldn't be against this, especially seeing how we'll have two 2nd rounders next year.
However, I do think that our secondary can be serviceable as is, although maybe not outstanding in its own right.
As others have said, as the defensive pressure goes, so goes our secondary this season.
What's the deal with O'Neal anyway ? It seems like he's really good but flames out - he was good for Denver then Shanahan got rid of him. Same with Cincy. Seems like there's a reasonable chance he could be really good here under this one year contract especially with him and Harrison seeming to really like each other.
And you know that Belichick didn't try to get Shepherd for a 3rd?

How do you give a thread negative stars?
don't forget, we would still need to pay Lito, and he aint cheap
2004 Samuel wasn't anywhere close to 2006 Samuel, and anyway, wasn't Law hurt at the end of that year? He didn't play in the playoffs, did he? I know he didn't play in the Superbowl that year.Just to look back at 2004 with Samuel and Law is a crazy thing to see. We were stocked then!

Yes, Ty missed the entire playoffs that year and Seymour didn't play until the Super Bowl. That was Peyton's 49 TD season too, and we held the Colts to 3 points with with Troy seeing significant time at DB as well as an undrafted rookie FA (Gay) and a 2nd year Asante Samuel that was far from what he has become.2004 Samuel wasn't anywhere close to 2006 Samuel, and anyway, wasn't Law hurt at the end of that year?

That 2004 season shows you how and why BB swaps out CBs like he does. Its not about names, its about results, and we quickly forgot about those problems. NO on the Lito talk, the only reason he wants out is for a big contract, its been rehashed plenty already. One would have to figure on Oneil being a JAG til he proves otherwise. I know alot of Bronco fans(Lynch and now Oneil) are snickering at us now, not a good thing looking at their team this year.
By far the worse duo of the BB era......I would throw at Hobbs all day and night if I were the opposition.
