This is one of those needs that no one is talking about.

And IF Evero is back.  This position is a massive massive piece to his defense in the 3-3-5

Xavier Woods, Fuller, Sam Franklin, and Nick Scott are hitting FA.  So essentially our entire 2 deep at both safety spots.

 

There are a couple guys in this draft I’m keeping an eye on as potential targets on day 2

 

first one is right by down the road at a program that we’ve become familiar with

Nick Emmanwori is a freak athlete mismatch nightmare.  If there are any South Carolina fans on here.  Let us know your thoughts on him.

 

 

The next one is Xavier Watts.  If there are any Notre Dame fans on here.  Would love for you to chime in and give your 2 cents on him.

My personal rule about safety- I just don't even draft one until round 5. 1st round, he better be Sean Taylor 2.4 or ed reed 3.5.

 

Woods should be had for 5 million per and toss fuller 3 again. The market is like RB is super team friendly. Many other players if woods doesn't sign. 

 

There's lots of success in the 5-UDFAs, Carolina hit on Demani Richardson he had like 20 tacks and solid in pass.

I like safety, but not before the 3rd round.  We have too many other needs.  Safety is like the FB of the defense.  It has it's place, but the front 7 and top 3 corners are WAAAAY more important.

Has to be a rare talent for safety to be premium picks.  Also a luxury type pick for teams with few needs. We are not a team in that position. Best route will be FA.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
