Until proven otherwise, I still like boykin in the slot as it seems to be his specialty for now.  If he can prove he can play on the outside when given the chance...go for it, but I'd rather bring someone in who is average on the outside, and keep Boykin inside and be great at what he does.

I appreciate the stats, but it's true that it's difficult to compare corners on paper. Truly perfect corners would have no stats, because no one would throw at or near them. You'd have zero passed defended, zero tackles, zero INTs.

Yes I agree Boykin plays the nickel and Norman is lined up on the outside but for the sake of the argument let's use some perspective. Boykin is a slot CB correct? Slot CB in the modern NFL get matched up against a team's top TE and WR more often than not. Offensive Coordinators tend to stay away from outside CB especially if that CB is a premiere guy in the league. So that leaves the nickel CB with a little more responsibility than a outside guy because he's targeted.
Now as I said stats don't tell the entire story but Boykin hasn't been too bad when he's matched up against the opposition. I'm not saying he's going to be just as good or better than Norman but I'm sure he will be able to hold his own.

This ^^^ Cooks, and Odell specifically saw more time in the slot and we got torched a few times when that happened. Teams will feature premiere talent in the slot you can even go back to the Superbowl, it doesn't matter if you can hold down one side of the field if the #2 and nickel are getting eaten up. 

We're losing a great talent outside, but we've been just as good defensively with less in the secondary. SO long as the pass rush is there you can have a ''Legion of Whom'' secondary and still be very good while employing a zone defensive scheme.
