Apparently, for many there is a critical need for an upgrade our #4 and #5 corners. Folks seem fine with McCourty, Bodden and Apprington, although some want to make Arrington a safety.
For me, we are all set with Bodden, McCourty and Arrington. Butler and Wilhite are probably as good as most #4 and #5 corners. Folks consider tham failures because thaey are not shut down, all-pro starters. WE DON'T NEED THEM TO BE STARTERS! We have two starters and a backup for 2011. We need Butler and Wilhite to be competitive nickel and dime backs. Even there, our safeties (and perhaps Arrington) can take on the nickel and or dime roles.
BOTTOM LINE
I don't see the critical need to upgrade our #4 corner posiition. We have Butler and Wilhite to compete for that roster spot and role. The loser of this camp competition can compete with the speical teamers for the #9 and/or #10 db roster spot. Sergio Brown is our #9 defensive back at the moment. Carter is our #10.
