I sorta hope we go with Moehrig and Ransom--veteran and rookie.  I also think they are somewhat high on Richardson.  We re-signed Scott to an minimal, non-guaranteed contract for insurance. We have 3 UDFA safeties on the roster.  I think THEY THINK we are set.

besides mike minter, safeties always been an after thought in this franchise

That probably makes the most sense at this stage of roster building.  I mean, don’t throw the kid out there if he isn’t ready, but if he shows ability then let him play.  The roster isn’t complete so there’s still time to take some chances.

We are probably set with Moehrig, Richardson, Ransom, and Scott.

Yep, I'm starting Ransom unless he struggles in camp.

We're not contending this year, don't spend any more cap space at this point unless we have to, roll the extra space over into next offseason at this point.

If he proves he can be a starter next to Moehrig, great, we just got a cheap starter for a few more seasons and can use the cap space at more impactful positions.  If he struggles, then we have our backup SS and we sign a new FS or use a earlier pick on one next summer.

Maybe the upgrade Scott with a veteran not on the market now.

They'll grab Justin Simmons, who it doesn't seem like we're in the market for anyway.

Think they are set at safety unless someone gets cut that Evero is familiar with and thinks would be an upgrade.

We still need a proven commodity at FS in my opinion. Toss em a couple shekels and let's go

I think--and this is wild speculation based on their comments and decisions--that a free safety type may not see the field unless they go dime.  At which time, I see how a FS could be very valuable.

The position that still bothers me is OT.  Moton's knee means BC or Nijman play RT. (Or Cade Mays--people don't realize this, but he played some T in college, is 6'5" and has over 34 inch arms. 

Ok, back to safety.  I think we are set until camp reveals more.

I think RT will be stronger than FS even if Moton goes down

This team ain't set at safety. One injury could mean Scott gets significant playing time. Nothing good would come of that. Nothing.
