Why not go after Eric Reed for Safety?

I just read an article that no one signing safeties till probably Reid signs and sets the tone, but who is going to be the first?

Really have to avoid further UFAs after adding Poe and Breeland. As of now we don't even have a pick for Norwell until (if) Dickson signs somewhere. 

You'd rather have a 3rd round pick instead of a proven starter at a position at need?

Why!?!? Because of comp picks??? To hell with comp picks. Build as good a roster as possible. If you're concern is comps over the overall depth you shouldn't be a GM.

I understand the whole comp pick thing.  But to avoid improving the team just to get a mid to late round draft pick that may not even make the roster is kind of silly.

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
