The injury to Godfrey made this necessary. This could mean that Godfrey will go on IR (though I'm just speculating). Personally, I like this move and hope it's permanent; I also hope when Godfrey is healthy, we will work him at his natural position as CB. JMO

From yesterday:

I'd be okay with trying Godfrey at corner and Martin at safety, but I wouldn't hold my breath.

I started thinking I'd like to see Dante Wesley at safety back duiring his first stint with the team. No one gave that any thought till lately, so I wouldn't expect quick action - or any action - on that anytime soon.

Buuuut then again, you never know :sosp:

Fox is getting a little faster than I gave him credit for on these things :lol:

just some insider info here but munnerlyn played him off the field and is going to make the team and has the inside track to the dime corner, will probably be nickel by the end of the season

he's got steve smith "angry short man" syndrome

Hmm it might work out. If anything it shows that they don't have much faith in Dante Wesley or Teal, or it could be that they were planning to make this move eventually. Personally I think Godfrey could be a good FS or CB but he does seem a little too lanky to be an all around badass FS. Martin seems like the more aggressive type, but he also has the speed to play the position.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
