True but all of those secondary picks from the Cerrato years should have developed by now. They haven't. On top of that it's easier to find late round linemen that can start and considering that a lot of our problems last year stemmed more from depth along the O-Line rather then depth in the secondary I think it's smart to not worry so much about the secondary.

Also going back to the Giants, I know that in 2008 they had a very weak secondary. It's possible it was also weak in 2011.
