Genuine question. What do you think is priority? A safety in coverage or one that can play the run.

Ball hawk 100%. They are much harder to find. I’ll take a pick over stopping a run here and there.

But I believe with a legit SS, Woods can focus on being a true FS. We were too interchangeable amongst our guys.

So I’d be happy with Bell at SS and Woods at FS

None of those safeties really move the needle for me but I would possibly kick the tires on a few of the DTs.

Having so many of our own FAs to sign, I would be surprised if we sign a big name at those spots, but I would be happy with a mid-level signing and then a top-3 round draft pick would also be nice. I've always been a sucker for top-end DL play, so I want our pick to be the best DT available, if a good one is there.

I'd draft a DT in the 1st and a safety in the 2nd. With McCarty having input, I'm confident we'll find solid players. Younger and cheaper. We haven't drafted a DT early worth a crap since 1991. And a safety since 2002 or 1992.

I think looking at the draft safety seems more attainable than DT
And we need a couple of CB’s
I think we draft much more for the secondary than many think
