Back when free agency started, most people here said we needed two starting-caliber CB's because of Warfield's impending suspension. Most wanted a combination of Law, Surtain, Rolle, Andre Dyson, Ken Lucas, Carlos Rogers, Pac Man, Antrel Rolle, etc. We only got 1 starter from that group.

Most also agreed we needed two starting-caliber LB's. We got Bell, missed out on Hartwell, but recovered by getting DJ.

So IMO, CP got 3 out of 4 needs filled. I'll give him a 75% grade for this offseason. JMO. Had he not spent money last year on Woods, Bartee, and Hicks, maybe we could've had enough money to sign Dyson or Dwight Smith as a safety net for Warfield's suspension.
