Safety Depth.

[Micjones]

Several Safeties have quietly disappeared from the open market during the Manning/Winston frenzy:

Tyvon Branch
Michael Griffin
Dashon Goldson
Dwight Lowery
Mike Adams
Thomas DeCoud
Brodney Pool
Steve Gregory
Jordan Babineaux
Haruki Nakamura
Brandon Meriweather
Erik Coleman

All gone now...
We may have to shore this position up in the draft.

We still have Piscatelli, no? We'll be fine.

[ChiefMojo]

So we have Berry, Lewis, McCarthy and who else?

Iloka...

He's gonna go, where, Round 2?
Might be too high to address a Backup Safety spot.

Who said anything about backup?

Put him at FS and use Lewis as depth/3rd safety.

I'm not yet ready to replace Lewis as the starter.
I thought he improved by leaps and bound last season.

We have bigger fish to fry still than the Safety position.
Just need another talented body there.

I'm thinking mid-to-late rounds. Or in FA.

[The Franchise]

Late rounds?

Henry...

Yeah, he'll probably go Round 4 or 5.
He'd be a good solid pick.

Or a Sean Richardson (Vandy).

Put him at FS and use Lewis as depth/3rd safety.I watched a few Boise State games this year. Not that I was every disappointed with Iloka's play, but why do you like him so much?

Versatility.

He's big enough to cover the TE and fast enough to cover the WR. He did both in college.

Piscatelli
Humiliates
Manning

The knock on him is that he's a shaky tackler with bad footwork, no?
Certainly that can be improved on with Thomas teaching the kid.
Just curious.

At least four of those guys have signed.

Babineaux
Adams (went to Denver)
Meriweather

EVERYBODY on that list is spoken for.

[BoneKrusher]

i knew those four i listed were wasn't sure bout all of em tho.

[Micjones]

Yeah there's been a run on Safeties, quietly, since Free Agency began.
There's still help out there, but the list is smaller and a lot less talented now.

i agree.

[whoman69]

I think the plan all along was to get depth in the draft because we aren't looking for a starter. I thought we had already picked up some second tier safeties.
