So turn back the clock to the 2013 season for a second. Brown is one of the best corners in the league, Fletcher and Cox are priority free agent signings, Ryan is a promising rookie known as Instant Offense, and McClain is providing quality snaps in the slot.

What are the odds that last season was just a down year for a couple of these players? What are the chances that one or two of these players rebounds after an average season in Oakland, or a bad year on a sieve of an Eagles defense?
