Could Melvin White make the transition to Safety?

[WOW!!]

Maybe this time the answer is actually on the roster. .

He has shown the ability to be a solid tackler and has some coverage skills.. being a CB most of his career. ..

Could he transition to Harper spot as a in the box safety with a off season of bulking up?

[Rags]

iirc he was kind of Eh outside of man. And I don't think he's strong enough or agile enough to cover most teams TEs at SS.

 

 

Then again neither is Harper, so.

Not having to face a teams best or 2nd best WR would help.. He was physical as a CB.. And like you said he has better coverage skills than Harper.

Could he with a year of bluking up and learning behind Harper becomes a nice safety. . He does have some what of the body for it.. all he needs to add is maybe 10 or 15 pounds of weight..

You think they would have tried it already with our need at safety. Rivera and putting the best player on the field though.....

[Lemory]

He's got some pop to him that's for sure.

[magnus]

He has size, seems to be aware and a good tackler.  Definitely a zone guy anyway.   But, others on the team have observed that White had a confidence issue.  Fixable in a young player and then you're not forcing him to another position longterm for a short term problem.

They needed him at CB last year and he had earned that after his rookie season. .

Now that he played his way out of that position maybe they will look to see..

Also you notice..

This is me stating a opinion on a different subject. ..so.....

He can hit I know that, it would be worth a shot but he's probably better for cb depth

No one claimed you never spoke of different subjects. The claim is that you regurgitate the same worn out complaint every time a transaction is made in free agency. Now back on topic because discussing it further is getting us nowheRe.

Where did he end the season in the Cb rotation? ?

[Moorgan]

What about Lester?

[mbarbour21]

That is actually a pretty interesting idea. If they try it or not will probably be dependent on who falls/rises on the draft. If they are able to get two corners at BPA, I could see this as a possible move.

[EMSMedic79]

He's definitely got it on special teams.

Never thought of it, but he does have some tangilbles.
