Here's the Lineup, I'm looking to upgrade my secondary, and I have 4 ap on defense that idk what to do with. (I am on old Gen, so any abilities that came out this year, I cannot use.)
Put Harrison Smith back at SS, buy Geno Stone at FS. Or.you can grind to level 17 on the comp pass and get free 99 ovr Antoine Winfield at strong safety. 97 Kyle Pitts is a top corner in the game for cheap. You can also grab Aqui Talib at corner. If you want another budget option use Peanut Tillman. Darrelle Revis is the 2nd best corner but pricey.

I'd run something like this. I run 90% zone coverage and only randomly run cover 2 man under to attempt to throw people off when they run hurry up. I run bnog but I have parsons, klecko, and john randle with UF and Colossus to help generate a pass rush with 3-4 instead of blitzing. I'd use harrison smith vs runners and chris harris vs passers.
the overall goal though is
S - Deep Zone + mid zone ko
CB - Flat zone + Deep zone ko and secure tackler
LB - lurker + mid zone ko (being on old gen really hurts you with no discounted lurkers)
DL - Run stopping abilities
If a DB can get pick artist that's a plus but I prioritize KOs over pick artist.
