So... if you had, in a crazy sitch, only had two to choose from at 10:
Barmore, or Moehrig...
Who do you choose?

And you can't get the other via trade, or pick.
It's one, or the other.

No, I don’t. I don’t see how the best safety in the draft is a reach at 10 just because a few pundits tell us he’ll go later.
Just because he's the best at a position doesn't mean he should be drafted at 10. Najee Harris is the best RB in the draft and nobody will be taking him at 12. Drafting for a position is called reaching something that will kill your future. Pitts, Sewell, Slater, Horn, Surtain, even Barmore are all way better options. Also we aren't losing games because of our FS. We are losing games because our front 7 gets gashed in the running game!

If the Cowboys have him as the best player available, would you be upset with them taking him just because others don’t have him listed as such?

It's irrelevant cause they don't. Fisher even said so about them possibly trading back into the end of round 1. That means they prob got a first round grade on him and he's probably in there 15-25th highest rated player.

I don’t trust Fisher, but ok.

We are definitely losing games by rolling out absolute scrubs at FS.

A good FS will help the CBs too.

Unless they are taking one of those guys at 10, they are going to have to maneuver around to get either. They are not worth 10 but likely won't be there by our 2nd pick.
Would most likely trade down and get one and possibly trade back up to get the other if they want both. Would possibly still have a 2nd round pick depending on trade down compensation. You're right neither are worth number 10.

I like Nick Bolton and Richie Grant over Moehrig and Collins

Moehrig. This safety class is very thin, and I think Moehrig has a better chance of being a superstar than Barmore. I think Barmore will be really good, but not great.

I would pick the DT about 95 times out of 100.

This is one of the five.

No one else will say that. I think Moehrig will be a better pro than Barmore.

We cannot keep ignoring the safety position. Doesn’t matter how good the trenches are if your secondary sucks. Ask Philadelphia.

Great take.....problem w/ Philly......they really don't have a stud DE. Graham is OK.....but if they had a stud to go w/ Cox.....might be a different story. As for their secondary....I seriously wouldn't take anybody on that team.

He’ll go in the late first, and Holland might too. GB, KC and NO could all be in play.

I think people are kidding themselves thinking he’s there at 44. Arguably the best safety in the draft won’t last that long.

I got him pegged for the Raiders @ 1/17. They are kidding themselves if they think Jeff Heath is the answer....they found out the hard way just like us.
