After getting Cash, I feel much better about our safety position.  Hoping either Marlowe or Ball can also get going this year.  Can't forget about Jones.  Decent rotational guy.  I see G-Man signing a few scraps from other team cuts aka camp bodies, maybe get lucky with one, but other than that, I think we're solid.  With the exception of LT depth.  

Man only way any of the guys you listed start over tre is if the completely show out in camp and i dont see it happening.

gettlemen isn't signing anyone until that comp pick is firmly in his pocket.

Signing released players doesn't affect the comp pick.

An UDFA makes you feel better?

You must not be too familiar with Cash.  Projected 2nd/3rd rounder, ACC defensive player of the year, and I poo you not, I recall seeing some mocks having him going in the late 1st.  We struck gold with Cash. How this guy went undrafted is beyond me.

Harper would be a better bet than Rolle.        About the same quality of play,  except Harper is more durable and we know for a fact he's a good leader for our secondary.

I kinda like Cash, Robinson, and Marlowe.  I would pass.

[Swaggasaurus]

Whitner would be the better option, younger, healthier, best friends with Ginn

The point was that the projections were obviously WRONG.  They were worthless.  32 teams passed over him with every pick.

Projections were wrong.  If the projections has said UDFA, you would not feel anything right now.

Not dissing the kid, just the devotion to predraft "projections" by guys who miss it wildly sometimes can skew your views

Panthers seemingly wanted him.

But not in the 2nd

Everyone thinks we picked up a 2nd rounder, no so.  We picked up a UDFA an hope he makes and helps the team

I can't imagine Gettleman would sign anyone until he gets a feel for how the young guys are coming along and how much he feels they can contribute.

And if we're going for a veteran, I think Whitner is a much better option than Rolle at this point.

Bigger point is Gettleman and Rivera want a core of secondary guys they can build long term into something like Seattle versus a band aid approach every year.
