It may be called a bargain bin type of FA but Andre Cisco is on my radar.  I mean he was in Jacksonville so we may have not seen his best. Still young and will be much cheaper than the San fran guy with an alphabet soup name or Holland. 

Safety in the NFL is a tricky evaluation that depends on the things you want your safeties to do.  Deep zone, run support, man, nickel, etc.  I don't know much about it, but I have heard some NFL safeties talking about the fit.  I am not that familiar with what we expect our safeties to do, but for some reason, some fairly established safeties were not very established here last year.   I think I struggle because the S is often out of the picture on TV.  I might need to get a wider screen to be able to see them.

the more I think about this the less enthusiastic I am about it. I would much rather spend money on the defensive line and then get a second tier free agent rather than make our big splash on a safety.

In an ideal world we end up with an edge (chase young or harold landry), pass rushing 3-4 end (maybe milton williams or allen) and a true NT as our three big splashes. 

Sign a second tier safety prospect and then use our second or third rounder on a safety.

This, big time I read some piece on him and how the Panthers run cover-3 as base and that's where Cisco was best at too. He should be cheap, or cheaper than those 15-20 million safety.

Every year they bring in a safety that’s supposed to be great in the system and they never are. I’m starting to think evero sucks
