Many 'draft experts' had Whitner moving to Corner out of college because of his good coverage skills. His production at SS thus far has left a lot to be desired and has been less than #12 overall worthy. On the same note our play at CB has been well below average, even when Clements was still here.
My proposal is that we move Whitner to Corner and either pick someone up like Huff via trade (see NFL Zone for thread) or draft someone like Josh Barrett who is having an excellent Combine so far on the second day. Whitner brings the ability to play more press coverage against the bigger, more aggressive WR's, something we lack greatly in McGee. This would allow us to use McGee in the Nickel where I think he would be a premiere player and would open him up to play more ST's where he is already a premiere player.
