I disagree regarding Claiborne, i think that he could excel in a man cover system, and that might be exactly what he needs to fulfill his potential. He is actually a fairly aggressive tackler in run support. His biggest issue is that he hasn't been able to stay healthy. He has speed to burn, and his best days could well be ahead of him if he could put together an injury free season.
Alterraun Verner i think would be another nice pickup as the third corner, not as a starter, although i suspect that he would hold his own as well as any No. 2 that we have had in the last few years, but that isn't saying too much.
The rest i do agree that there are meager pickings, but we have to bring in someone to compete and we do still have plenty of cap space left. Claiborne signed a 1 year $3m contract last year and hopefully could be had for something slightly more than this once again. I would also imagine that Verner isn't likely to break the bank in the $3m range. This would still leave us with enough money to compete to sign Poe, assuming we are still interested in him.
