But I figure that we're going to need a CB to start. Less likely the front seven. |

We can sign someone like Tre Boston on a team friendly deal. We cut or trade Houston and have the dollars to sign CJ Mosley. Then we can take a corner in the first and find an edge in the second. Your defense would be Dline Ford, Jones, Nnadi, Speaks LB DoD, Mosley, Hitchens Corners Fuller, drafted CB Safeties Berry, Boston That's a defense that will be more than servicable |

It's easier for us to get a known commodity at safety than corner via FA. I'd rather plug the safety hole with a known NFL commodity and take a guy like Trayvon Mullen 5-10 spots ahead of his projections and gamble on him growing into a great corner. |

And while the CB draft is deep, it's not top heavy. You'd still probably get better value taking a safety in the first and a CB in the 2nd. |

I think we circle back around on Tre Boston. He was a top 10 safety last year in pass coverage and has had to be in 3 different systems the past three seasons. We can get him on a team friendly deal and I believe he starts to excel when he has the consistency of getting to play in the same system for more than one season. Furthermore, if you're taking a safety in the first and cb in the second you're essentially almost committing yourself to two rookies starting in the secondary. If Charvarius Ward doesn't take that step at CB we're screwed again. If we go with a CB/Safety in the first round we have to get the opposite of whatever we don't draft via free agency. We can't risk it. Last edited by ntexascardfan; 03-06-2019 at 01:19 PM.. |

If Charvarius Ward doesn't take the next step this season you're staring down a pretty ugly barrel again in the secondary. You're hoping you can fly with a secondary that has two rookies in it and an unreliable Eric Berry. I just feel like the easier puzzle to solve would be to draft a CB early, sign a FS like Boston, draft a FS like Darnell Savage later in the draft, and then get your edge guy in round two. |

I don't see nearly as much separation as you do, I guess. |

Deep Safety FA class + deep safety draft class + reasonable cap hit for signing via FA Poor CB FA class + an OK CB class + risky cap hit for signing via FA To me when I do that math equation it makes the choice to go CB over safety in the first a lot easier. I suppose our biggest difference is in the philosophy. I feel my approach is minimizing risk in the secondary. |

Plus I think if they do, it's going to be a guy like Collins, rather than Boston. Which accentuates the need for a safety like Adderley or Rapp, neither of whom I think drop out of the 1st round. |

If we keep Berry or sign Collins, we shouldn't be drafting a SS. Rapp will be sitting on the bench if we draft him because he isn't a free safety. He isn't someone you ask to play centerfield in Spag's scheme. If we go safety we're looking at guys like Nassir Adderley, Juan Thornhill, or Darnell Savage. Adderley is probably gone in the first, but I think Thornhill + Savage can be had in the second. |

I think Thornhill goes before our picks in the 2nd, that's my concern. |
