I don't think Wort comes out this year. He's not had a good enough year to declare early and get taken high. He kind of rode an amazing game against FSU last season despite the fact his production wasn't really anything special, and hasn't been this year either. Most of his big plays for the entire year came in that one game.

Maybe 6th or 7th.

I actually don't see a huge difference in quality and pro potential between Elam, Lester, Rambo, and Swearinger. Those guys would be rotating around 6, 7, 8, and 9 for me probably.

I like Elam, but don't love him. He's small, undisciplined, and not that great in coverage. He's an undersized pure SS that can have some troubles tackling because of breakdowns in fundamentals and discipline. Before all other things, a strong safety must tackle IMO. I'd take him over any safety we have on the roster right now, but I don't think he's a big difference maker.

One thing I feel good about though, there is enough depth at the safety position to get a future starter in the third or fourth round most likely.

Six starting caliber SEC safeties at least that I can think of.

FS:

1.) Reid - 1st
2.) Vaccarro - 2nd
3.) Williams - 3rd
4.) Rambo - 3rd
5.) Swearinger - 4th
6.) Jefferson - 5th

SS
1.) McDonald - 2nd or 3rd
2.) Thomas - 3rd
3.) Elam - 3rd
4.) Lester - 4th
5.) Shawn Williams - 4th

That's about how I'm thinking. But I doubt that many safeties get taken that early. Safeties aren't that hot a commodity in the draft. Some are going to drop into the fifth and sixth rounds.

Bout to look at some real defense. I hope we can sign Jason McCourty, Talib, and Louis Delmas. And get either Green Bay DB coach or Pitt LB coach.

If we got the GB DB coach, we should try to sign Sam Shields IMO.

I've been a big advocate of getting Shields and Talib/DRC if there is anyway possible Allen/Danny can pull that off.

I think we can get Talib, but he's less desirable than DRC because of his off field history. DRC is going to cost some coin. Friggin cap penalty.

McCourty signed a big extension before the year.

Ok well maybe we can get a Sam Shields/Talib CB combo with Mundy from the Steelers to play safety. Draft Ansah/BYU DE in the second and draft Rambo in the 3rd. That puts playmakers all in our defensive backfield.

Am I the only one who doesn't really like DRC or Talib and especially the amount of money they will cost? They aren't great cover corners, more playmakers with insane athleticism.

I think we can bring in cheaper and better options.

Our entire draft better be on defense

Talib aint costing nothing. And I dont agree with on getting better options for cheaper. There will be a reason they're cheaper.

double post

I guess I will use this to say that we should really look at Bacarri Rambo as a legitimate option, he has been playing incredibly well

I wonder how likely it is to get next years cap back? Or is that completely over?

I disagree DRC would be Dhall without the mouth except faster/younger and still more upside. If our passrush can be what it's supposed to be next year and we can actually cover deep our DBs will have more shots at making a play on the ball. Shields and DRC excell at this. I would obviously prefer them two over a guy like Talib, but not sure how feasible it is considering our cap situation.

If we cut Dhall in the offseason will we save 8 million/plus? Is that correct? Will this help at all?

Regardless at least sign one of these two and draft a S and CB.

Shields is an RFA. No way you're getting him outta GB.

If we're going to stick with the 3-4 we need a legit NT, and it's not Cofield. I'd like to see us go after a stud NT in the draft or FA and kick Cofield out to DE, giving us more flexibility out there with him, Carriker, Bowen, and Jenkins. Not sure what legit 3-4 NTs will be around when we draft: Jesse Williams from Bama comes to mind for the 2nd and maybe Georgia's Kwame Geathers in later rounds.

Didn't realize Shields was RFA. Definitely won't get him then. I agree we need a true NT so we can have more depth on the ends.

And I realize we will probably have to resort to Talib.
