Archuleta is not a good cover safety is the biggest concern if he plays there. IF he goes LB, then he needs to bulk up a little and would probably more suited to take Hillenmeyers position, with Briggs being replaced independently.

I like the trade, Brown takes a pay cut or see ya.

Id be more for a clause in case he gets injured. Brown is worth every penny when he is on the field.

If Brown is healthy, then he moves back to FS and Archuleta goes to SS. He will shore up the run defense even more. And the times they run the Cover-2...Arch just needs to cover an area and not let anyone get behind him. He thrived with Lovie and Babich in St. Louis, there's no reason to think he won't again.

 

This move provides a lot of depth with Danieal Manning, Chris Harris, Ricky Manning Jr and Dante Wesley, if we keep him.
