WTF am I missing on Terell Brown? He's PFF's #4 ranked CB in coverage rating and he's ranked 17th overall in coverage on their signature page. He's started 16 games the last 2 seasons so he appears to be durable. He's batted down 15ish passes the last 2 seasons as well. He is, by all accounts, one of the better pure cover CBs in the NFL.
Now I totally understand Sherman blowing him out of the water. But Browner? Harris? I think both guys are probably comparable to Brown, but those guys are likely going to go for twice as much as him. Hell, Harris may well spend the year as a pure Nickle CB whereas Brown was probably the best CB on a very strong unit last year.
He's clearly not a great run-support DB, so I guess there's that. And Harris is a few years younger, so that would increase his value somewhat as well.
But man, it sure seems like Brown got ignored. Am I completely out to lunch here? I'm pretty damn excited to get a legitimate #2 CB (and a guy that's better than a handful of team's #1 guys) for about what someone's going to pay for Hatcher and a heck of a lot less than what Desmond Bryant's going to end up going for.

Brown was a very close #3 on my board behind Harris. I would have loved to bid on him again, but I just couldn't. It was a matter of timing for me. Brown would be a nice upgrade for my team, but I have more pressing needs elsewhere. I need to address those first before I can throw $100+ at a less critical position.
