A few top 10 prospects - who is the best fit for Dallas?

Wait a minute.

Ronnie Lott made the Pro Bowl at cornerback in four straight seasons beginning his rookie season in '81. Long before the advent of Internet fan voting. Was selected as an All-Pro in '81 & '83

Had 7 interceptions and 3 TD returns (off INTs) his rookie season which was good enough to put him in 2nd to only Lawrence Taylor as Rookie of the Year...

And you're saying he wasn't a good corner?

I could care less what Lott may have said in some moment of humility, the reality was he was a good corner and the rest of the league viewed him that way.

No. I'm saying that I've heard inteviews with Lott saying that he was a much better Safety then he ever was a CB. I mean, he's from Albuquerque New Mexico. I'm a big fan of the guy because he's home town. I mean, I don't love the 49ers but I do like Lott because he's from here and because he was a damn fine player.

You don't move All Pro CBs to safety if they really are better CBs. You don't replace All Everything CB Ronnie Lott with Erick Wright, Tim McKyer, Don Griffin. I mean, Wright had a couple of good seasons but on the whole, the were all just OK, not All Pro career type guys.

That very well may have been the case, but nevertheless, Ronnie Lott was a great CB. You don't make the Pro Bowls and All-Pro teams in the early '80s for nothing.

It's like on a scale of 1 to 10, an average NFL corner is say a 5. It's like you're trying to make a point that Ronnie Lott was a 10 at safety and only an 8 at CB.

Eric Wright, Tim McKyer and Don Griffin were all very good cornerbacks in their day. You do move a big corner like Ronnie Lott over to safety when there is a need, which there was. You put your best players on the field. Keep in mind a 6'0" 200+ corner in the 80's was a rarity, not the norm.

Can you name the 49ers starting free safety prior to Lott?

This is all really funny ABQ. You continue to downplay Ronnie Lott's ability as a corner because you're trying to support a failed point: that Ronnie Lott wasn't any good at corner.

That's despite all the Pro Bowl, All-Pro selections and accolades that beg to differ.
 
The fastest way to improving our secondary is through upgrading our pass rush.

Quinn is the answer.
