The Roster Equation: Depth or Special Teams Demons

One of the problems with getting a guy who can cover to be your #4 guy is that most coverage CBs are kinda...prima donnas. They don't like to get hit or make big ones. That means you don't have them on special teams. Short of Sellers and Sean Taylor, I can't think of starters who do play on special teams, so it's gonna be tough to go get guys who can step in and play behind your corners and still have a good special teams unit.

Also, I think Kenny Wright would be a decent nickel back, but not much more. And Williams needs to stop lining guys up so far off of wide receivers.
