Three favorites of mine at SS in case Berry goes down:
SS Winston Guy, Jr., Kentucky -- super productive, good sized safety with limited athleticism. great instincts in diagnosing the play, has a rare nose for the ball in Kuechly-like fashion. may not even get drafted due to his awkward athleticism, but I think he could be a late round steal. SS Tony Dye, UCLA -- injury-laden career nonetheless gave way to some brilliant, hard hat play. he is a safety with limited athleticism, but loves mixing it up in the box. is a natural read-and-reacter in the Romeo Crennel mode. would be a great run defender a la Kurt Coleman Sean Richardson, Vanderbilt -- Chiefs were scoping out Vanderbilt not too long ago, Richardson is a 220-lb behemoth built for punishing in the box, but is a liability in coverage. I love how Richardson hits, though -- he has a Pollard-propensity to sacrifice the safe tackle for the big hit |

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure McGraw and Langford are both gone.
We didn't tender Langford and JMs contract ran out. If we re-sign either guy, we might lose a pretty high comp pick next year from losing Carr. |

they have got to be gearing up to draft CBs and Safeties as well as bringing in any and every undrafted safety into camp they can get their hands on

Wait how does that work? I thought comp picks were comp picks for specific players? As in you lose one highly-valued player, you get a pick. Period. If it works like you're saying why don't we run the risk of missing out on that pick by signing Routt and company?

We let Jones, Battle and McClain walk and signed a guy that can do it all with Peyton Hillis.
Maybe we let Langford and McGraw walk and draft Barron who can fill both roles. I'd be very happy with that pick. Im a big fan of his and think he could heavily impact our defense. |

Guys that were cut aren't included in the equation. If your team loses more eligible free agents to other teams than you signed from other teams eligible free agents...you are awarded a comp pick for each player over that count. The round of the comp pick is determined by the amount your free agents signed elsewhere for and their playing time (comp picks next year will be from these equations from this offseason for that reason) Losing Carr to a big contract to a team he will play a lot for should give us the highest level of comp pick if we keep our count high. That's another reason Winston, Routt and Boss were probably targeted...they were cut. We have lost Carr and Orton to other teams and only signed Hillis that actually had an expired contract. That should put us in line for a nice pick next year. |
