Dear 405, the thing you are struggling with is that the fanpost wasn’t designed for what you are trying to do. We generally use the fanshot to link to other articles, photos, videos or other things. We don’t usually use it as a place for posting a general comment.

This is different from many message boards out there, where many standalone threads start out with little more than a single question or a few sentences. Case in point: this fanshot. What you’ve posted is basically a comment that would have been better suited as a comment in the comment section of a front page post or fanpost.

So a good fanshot in this case would have been to find an article that discusses 2nd tier CBs, linking to it (click on the link tab once you create a new fanshot) and providing a brief comment.

Another option would have been to make this into a full fanpost, but that would have required some more work, as we would have expected you to lay out some of the options available as 2nd tier CBs, ideally with a short profile for each. You could then have added a poll at the end of the post asking fr the type of feedback you’re looking for here.

to answer your question though, we have to usually look on our own. Such research often ends up on the front page or in a fan post. What is a 2nd tier CB? You may have to develop a criteria on your own, but this list of all FAs may help

Often I find Dallas digs up midlevel players I’ve never heard of. Anthony Henry and Kyle Kosier are good examples of players no one saw coming

He was playing at a very high level prior to his injury and I think he can return to that form given the state of modern medicine
