It's been suggested that if the Pats sign Browner, they'll line him up at safety. In that case, both starting safeties will be former Pro Bowl CBs.
Even if things don't happen exactly that way, the interest in Browner suggests that last year's 3 CB/1 safety line-ups -- with the safety being a former Pro Bowl CB -- weren't flukes.
Obviously, one reason for collecting CBs is the prevalence of sub packages. But that even aside, it feels like BB wants to populate the secondary with guys who have serious cover skills.
