Some good answers from the 4 writers on this one.

As mentioned, some good combos for several teams.

Diggs / Gilmore
Howard / Ramsey
Slay / Bradberry

Diggs and Gilmore Both rated top 10 from PFF, if you are one to go by rankings.

The Ramsey/Howard may rate just ahead of Cowboys CB

- Is Ramsey better than Diggs ?
Is Xavier Howard better than Gilmore ?

- Xavier is more of an opportunist INT ball hawk than he is a shut down coverage guy .
Ramsey is not what he used to be as a shut down guy but he is still among top CBs

- Diggs is one of the three top INT ballhawk CBs in NFL, imo and he has improved as a man coverage guy though he's become shy-tackle.
Gilmore is not what he used to be post ACL, but he is still among the more solid coverage CBs in NFL.

Ramsey is one of the most overrated players in the NFL. All i ever see is him getting beat like a drum.

On paper you would think Diggs/Gilmore is one of the best in the NFC....but you don't win on paper. I need to see which Gilmore we got in Dallas. Is he the all Pro Gilmore still able to clamp down on receivers or the one we got a year or two too late. The drop off can be quick at his age. So for me, it is still a question mark. Hope it's the former.

Take another look at their numbers for solo and combined tackles. Both Diggs and Gallimore are unafraid to expose themselves to the contact.

Also, take a look at Bland's tackle numbers, not to mention INT's.

Best duo? The Cowboys have the best trio and it isn't close.

I agree it's important to include slot corner.

We might have one of the best trios. Love the enthusiasm, but I doubt any of us here know enough about rosters around the league to make big declarations.
