Who are our cbs?

Simon was a backup. Is he a sure fire great player? Is he better than Mathis was last year?

Sheard is a younger Walden. How much better is he?

Mingo is trash that we are paying too much for.

How exactly are we better

Still no word on Darius Butler ??? This surprises me ...

Butler has spent the past five seasons with the Colts, playing in 67 games (starting 24) and recording 214 tackles, 41 passes defensed, 12 interceptions (three touchdowns), and six forced fumbles. Last year, he played in 12 games and started seven of them, recording 33 tackles, seven passes defensed, three interceptions, and a forced fumble. He was productive as a slot cornerback and also spent time at safety, where he wants to move full-time

Sometimes, one must take two steps backward in order to go three steps forward. Usually, after one realizes he has stepped in isht. Wouldn't you say this franchise has stepped in isht?

Packers Signing TE Martellus Bennett

[sherck]

Sheard was my #5 OLB in free agency and Simon was my #6 OLB in free agency only behind Melvin Ingram, Chandler Jones, Mario Addison, and Nick Perry.

Anyone else better is over 30 (James Harrison, Charles Johnson) and would not have been a target for Ballard.

Has he ever played in a 3-4 defense? I don't think so. That and his injury status, would be enough for me to pass.

Then again the Colts have more or less had the worst luck/history ever with DTs/NTs, so when Corey Simon is your high-water mark ... well, beggars can't be choosers.

His declining performance seems linked to a bad back that's plagued him the past couple of years. Injury free, he's an elite player, but he hasn't been injury free for awhile.
