I don't think so. JoJo and Rapp are the only certain upgrades over their younger selves. Baker, SMFJ, and LAN are all better than anyone listed until they're not.
Jones and King especially are tough guys to upgrade on or even replicate. All of the cornerbacks in question are plenty athletic and quick but Jones had crazy good technique to go with that wing span. King is just a rare human at 6'3" with exceptional quickness even when compared to much smaller corners.
I’m surprised I’m surprised how much Murphy/Miller underappreciation is going on in this thread.
Premature is all. Murphy has shown he's a big play guy but not that he's a shutdown one on one cover corner that can stay consistent over a whole season. Miller had a bit of a rough start this year but pulled it together. I think they're both good but haven't reached Jones-King stature yet and it's hard to predict it based on the little we've seen.
King was a freak, SMFJ was the best DB on the field, Budda was special, and Rapp was a TF.
Fully expect Rapp to be better than Budda to be honest. That’s my opinion so fuck off (even though he underperformed this year) And none those guys from 2016 were as highly touted coming out of high school as Murphy Joyner, Gilchrist so let’s hope Lake is earning his pay. Murphy is a stud, he’s a first round pick. Now if you add Marcus Black Panther Peters to that 2016 team, I will say fuck no, no how no way ever. That would have gone down as the best secondary in UW history.

Rapp and Budda are different players but it's hard to be more effective than a 1st team all American. Budda was ridiculous that year.

Agree with all this. Budda was a one man wrecking crew back there by the end of last year and is continuing to shine at the next level. I think Mr. Murphy Jr. is going to emerge the same way.
I’ve seen nothing to suggest this is even a remote possibility. SMFJ and LAN are the best corner tandem this program has ever had. Add Budda to that, and it doesn’t even matter who the SS was. Yes, Rapp is better, but he’s not Budda. We’ve only seen half a season of decent play from Miller and Murphy, and you want to crown them? The more I think about this, the dumber it gets.

I just hope we can get miller healthy and close to 100 percent.

So...maybe?
