If Mays is Sean Taylor good I'm not against taking him - but on a team with many needs it is true that a starting safety is not one of them.

Morgan is an unknown at this point.

Page and Pollard will be in their fourth seasons next year.

We know what we have in those two.

I think Page is a good starting safety. Pollard has been iffy, but he's not the reason we're losing games. And we spent a high pick on a player who can challenge him.

Guys like Marquand Manuel, Michael Boulware, James Butler, and Danieal Manning have started in Super Bowls in the last couple years. We don't need a safety.

Yeah, you're right.

I LOVE seeing guys like LenDale White scamper for 60+ yard runs against the Chiefs.

I blame that more on the front 7 than on the safeties. Sure our safeties aren't great but they aren't horrible either. Teams don't have pro bowlers at every position. If we can upgrade at safety then fine but it's certainly not one of the top priorities IMO. I would put DE, RT, RG, and MLB all as priorities before safety.

They may be priorities above the safety position. I'm not advocating that the Chiefs reach for a safety.

But if Taylor Mays is the best value choice wherever the Chiefs may choose, you take him.

Fair enough.

Page is a serviceable nickel/dime - if necessary. He'd be a good backup.
