You are exactly right, our defense is built around our CB's being able to play one on one with the top WR's in this league.
Champ Bailey was the top DB in his draft.
Smoot was a Jim Thorpe Award finalist (given to the top defensive back in the country) and the top CB in his draft. So is Springs, but he is getting old and injury prone. If Smoot leaves we would be forced to pay big to replace him.
