Give me Hall and Nelson over Jackson and Bates in a heartbeat. Hall was coming off a 4 INT season, which is 2 more INTs than Jackson has had in 4 years in the NFL. He was also a very sure tackler. Nelson is a 2x Pro Bowler who in 2011 had 4 INT, 2 FF, 2.0 sacks, and could absolutely lay down the hammer with hits (and was Ben Roethlisberger's kryptonite).

There's 0 chance that Hall v Jackson and Nelson v Bates are both even comparisons.

Also don't know why you're saying it's Phillips vs Jennings when it'd actually be Phillips vs Adam Jones. Jones ended up a Pro Bowl CB later, so I don't know if that'd be a favorable comparison either.

I would also argue Bell = Crocker. It wasn't until 2012 that Crocker really started going downhill.

But honestly at the end of the day I wouldn't care which secondary I got so long as it was Zimmer as DC rather than Anarumo.

In fairness... Pacman missed a lot of that season. The first 2 months maybe.
