I don't think Clements is as good as every one is saying.
He is solid, but I wouldn't call him Top Flight.
Unfortunately, Cornerbacks are hard to what ever team gets him is going to overpay.

I still think Springs(when Healthy) is a better corner.

Btw, Like someone said earlier, It's stupid to move our best corner to safety.
First, Springs hasnt lost a step. Woodson and Vincent moved to safety when they couldn't cover fast WR's. Springs is still our fastest corner.

Second, He is a little too fragile for corner, What makes you think he can play the more physical safety spot? Taylor is our FS, Springs would have to be our SS. He would have to play near the line of scrimmage and take on alot of blocks. No way he can take that pounding.
