Watts has an injury history that makes Dee Ford look like a pillar of health. Lucas is completely unproven. To me, pass rush, CB, and S are definite needs. I get that everybody is worried about the linebackers but it's just not a position that needs to be highly drafted unless there's talent there that's worth it. As deep as this draft is in DB's, it's equally BEREFT of SLB and MLB prospects. Those positions need to be looked at later. |

I don't like him as a player at all, frankly, but I really don't like him at FS. |

He's not good at the line of scrimmage either though. If you actually look at his ratings at places like PFF, as hard as it might be to believe, he's better at FS than SS.

Not arguing against drafting a safety at all. Just more concerned that I don't see a real SSLB on the roster. Not saying we should get one in round one; and I'd prefer to find another FA to put in the mix. |

I think Sorenson may be overpaid, but I don't know that he's a shitty player. I think he's a pretty solid safety that needs to be put in certain situations.

well, that's cool, but chasing guys much faster than him downfield isn't it. And if playing in the box and covering TE's and playing run support isn't it, then what is?

Im hoping we can land Amani Hooker with one of our seconds. That guy knows how to play and probably has the highest football IQ of all the dbacks in the draft and sniffs out plays before the ball is snapped. Lord knows we need smart players after last year's shit show of Berry showing guys where to line up.

I love the kid, I think he's in the vein of Micah Hyde and Desmond King as far as Iowa DB's go. |

I am thinking the safeties go higher than we think. Wouldn't surprise me to see Rapp and Thornhill go early round 2, maybe even back end of the first.

they just CAN'T. I mean, they can, but it's literally getting to the point that everyone's saying there's 60 guys that are going to go in the first. There can only be 32. If the safeties start going in the first, then TJ Hockenson is going to fall to us at 29. I mean, they just can't. I mean if Hock drops to us, you run up to the podium giggling, but I don't see how that happens. At some point, positional emphasis is going to kick in. TE's and safeties and off-ball linebackers traditionally are considered LESS value than QB's, pass rushers, LOT's and CB's. I have to believe traditional thinking is going to win out. |

The public just has no idea how teams boards will be set, when the whole group outside the top say 5 guys is all bunched up. Guys being projected in the late 2nd may go in the first or vice versa. |

Or something like a Hock falling to 29 will happen. Or Ferrell. Or something unimaginable like that. It's just not going to happen. |
