Bigger question why tf are the jets still scouting safeties ? Didn’t they double dip in 2017

The answer is in the OP

He's a natural FS. Fast, nasty and rangy.

Oh lawd, if Hurney drafted him to move him to nickelback...

Par for the course right. He loves that crap— that’s his version of getting cute— linebacker transition to safety,.. slow nickel to play safety,,... thank God he doesn’t like to draft garbage wide receivers in later rounds like Kerry Colbert, Dwayne Jarrett or Ryne Robinson’s— omg wait for it.

A free safety good enough to play outside cornerback or help in the slot. Wouldn't that be a huge change for a team that doesn't seem to value safeties very highly. If this comes to pass we could have one of the best secondaries we have ever had.  Given the division we play in, it is amazing we haven't done this before.

Would take him in rd 2.

Be still my beating heart.

And tackle.  We wouldn’t know what to do with ourselves.

Savage is good but way too small. I would like him as a nickel corner but not fs

He isn't way small. At 5'11" and 200 lbs he is about right. Reid is a big thumper and is 6'1" and only 215. He will add weight with an NFL off-season program.

[Toomers]

At 47 or 76 we will have to pick one of the FSs available, unless a move is made in FA(very possible) After that the starter candidates will be gone. 

  Adderly

  Thornhill

 CGJ

Savage

And whatever D. Thompson is? I’m just lost on him. Can’t get a good feel. 

  I like all four but if pressed I would take Thornhill first of these players. Elite athlete, instincts, CB experience. Of course, that describes all of them pretty much.

I've been thinking we target in since he can cover, has speed and can do multiple things even at a slighter frame. 

Plus DJ and Jermaine have probably vouched for him 

I believe Jermaine has on Twitter. I wouldn’t be shocked if DJ has as well.

Im talking about his frame. Kid is very thin.

200 lbs isn't slim on someone 5'11".  He is a safety who is quick not a linebacker. How big is the honey badger? Yeah 5'9" and 185. 

Wrong again.

He’s way too small. He could be a hybrid s/cb but I cant see his body holding up as a FS.

Do you know who Earl Thomas is? Ed Reed? He is the same size.

[Sub Zero]

Like Juan Thornhill better but Savage is a good player as well..
