I loved what we did with Bolton & Humphrey last year.
Rather than picking backup/developmental player who was 8th/9th ranked in his respective position group, we took the #1 Center. I'd love to snag a starter with our top pick as well.

Last season's draft was a smashing success. We should be looking to do the same this year. The good news is that we can truly go BPA at 30 and still get that. There's several DE, DT, CB, and S candidates that would contribute significantly day 1. Even a WR could be although it's less likely due to scheme and history. |

As it stands right now I can absolutely see a safety in round 1, but there are just so many good free agent safeties that I just don’t think we will be seeing it the same after free agency. I think we get at least one.
We shall see. |

FA will obviously dictate what we do but safety is just as bare as defensive end at this point.

Also, the DE class is strong in this draft, while the safety class is average. Just feels like DE will be more likely early in the draft than S when it’s all said and done. |

For better or worse, I expect that name to be Tyrann Mathieu. |

The biggest worry I have about a round 1 edge is that it will be the 6th or 7th edge off the board, and at that point, are those guys going to be pro-bowl caliber players?
I've been spoiled into wanting a homerun with our early picks, and also terrified by our past edge picks of KPass and Kaindoh.

Meh I think safety is such an overrated position on here. They don't need to be as good as Mathieu as long as they aren't as bad as Ron Parker the defense will be fine

But to your point about quality, Thornhill is perfectly fine, if we could get another player as good as him, we'd be fine. We don't need perfection back there, we just need better. The real problem at safety is that we have virtually nobody under contract. Sorenson and Watts suck ass and won't likely be back. |

I look at that time with KC having Parker and Abdullah starting, and I never really thought the position was in dire straights. I don't think you have to go balls deep at the position to have solid players there. It's nice to have at least one really good one but I'm not sure it's the need we think it is. We had a nice go with Mathieu locking down slot receivers but that isn't the norm. |
