Shields' a good corner but he ain't lockdown good with shutdown potential. Haden would be an upgrade over Shields, although I would be extremely jolly with both as Packers.
When Sherman ingeniously traded for Harris, Harris was in his late 20's. When C-Wood fell into Thompson's lap - Prime Time said Wood was done; Bucs wanted to move him to saftey - Wood was in his late 20's. Haden's in his late 20's. The math favors Haden becoming the next great Packer shutdown corner.
