To the second point, with Cox you have a character-issue guy who's decent in kick coverage and is a lot slower to play the corner position. With Arenas, you have a bona fide nickel corner and coverage guy. I think we may have reached a little on Arenas, but I don't have a huge problem taking a guy who plays two pretty important roles.

And finally, most of these players we're talking about. Apart from Kindle, are any of these guys really playmakers?
he's a defensive playmaker

Nate Allen

College Stats:
Finished with 144 solo tackles (five for loss) and 80 assists. Intercepted nine passes, broke up 12 more, recovered four fumbles and a blocked field goal, and scored three touchdowns.

or heck we could of waited until round 3 for S Morgan Burnett

bottomline is that there were much less "gadgety" players that are going to be quality starters in the NFL available at virtually every position and we took a speedier version of Dante Hall..
