Gilmore, Jackson, and McCourty is about as good of a 1-2-3 lineup at corner as you'll find around the league, assuming Jackson takes the next steps and McCourty doesn't fall off a cliff or anything.
Frankly I don't recall the Pats ever having a more complete secondary in my lifetime of watching the team (started in 1985 at 9 years old). Obviously Law and Harrison were a class above on their own, but taking into account the entire rotation (starters, situational guys, backups) in the entire defensive secondary, it's as stacked as it could reasonably be during the salary cap era.Two years is more than I anticipated, actually.

We also have Jones.
I love JJ and might keep him just to cover Hill but I wouldn't be mad if someone plucked him for the 2nd Rd tender.A lot of future stability at cornerback
Gilmore - 3 years
Jackson - 3 years
McCourty - 2 years
Jones - 1 year
Crossen- 3 years
Dawson - 3 years
that would be great. But I doubt it will happen. BB would just find another UDFA and we could draft a receiver or OL with that pick.I love JJ and might keep him just to cover Hill but I wouldn't be mad if someone plucked him for the 2nd Rd tender.

good thoughtFTFY.
2003 was amazing too. Poole was very good and Eugene Wilson has a good rookie season. Asante was in his second year and Antwan Harris made some plays.Frankly I don't recall the Pats ever having a more complete secondary in my lifetime of watching the team (started in 1985 at 9 years old).
