Alot of talk about our safeties and the need to upgrade. But, are any of these guys any good? Based off of this list, I'd go Oline in Free Agency and Safety in the the draft.

Our problem with our O-line has been the fact that we have had to go free agency there instead of developing our own talent. One could argue that the two olinemen we do have that were homegrown (Free and Gurode) are our best.

I want to draft OLine from here on out. No more guns for hire there.

 

[Manwiththeplan]

so basically no one............

Best options may come via trade

Donte Whitner, SS, Buffalo (actually believe he's a FA)
Brandon Merriweather, S, New England (FA after 2011)
Michael Huff, S, Oakland (FA after 2011)

The safties available in the draft aren't any better than the list you have.

 

[basstapp]

I will take Landry from Baltimore

 

[burmafrd]

We need a center fielder who can tackle for SS. And basically a big CB with big play skills for FS.

 

[realtick]

Of that group only Antoine Bethea peeks my interest.

 

[casmith07]

I'd take Bethea and pair him with Barry "The Reverend" Church.

 

[NextGenBoys]

Eww that is awful.

We NEED a playmaking safety in the draft.

Safety and Oline are absolute musts.

YES, I would love to have Michael Huff.

 

[Teague31]

anyone know anything about this alan ball?

 

[craig71]

I wonder how big of an effect a new CBA will have on any possible free agents?

Craig

 

[NextGenBoys]

YES, I would love to have Michael Huff.

Eww why?

If you're a Texas fan, you need to let it go lol.

 

[CanuckCowboysFan]

Bethea has 0 picks and 3 pass deflections all year. Ball has better stats.

 

[realtick]

YES, I would love to have Michael Huff.

At least one of two things must true: You're either a Longhorns fan or you haven't actually seen Huff play.

I live in the Bay Area and have been forced to watch more Raiders games than I care too, Huff is JAG. Ask most Raider fans and they'll tell you the same.

 

[realtick]

Bethea has 0 picks and 3 pass deflections all year. Ball has better stats.

And guess what, Bethea is a better safety.

 

[dwmyers]

Of that group only Antoine Bethea peeks my interest.

I don't think Antoine is peeking at anything of yours.

I'd suggest you're trying very hard to misuse the word 'pique'.

 

[SDogo]

Tanard Jackson, what the hell happened to that kid. He was probably one the smartest football players I have seen coming out of college at a non QB position in years and suddenly money and fame made him lazy and dumb.

The guy had 5 int's 2 tds, 2 FF's last year.

He can play.

 

[ThreeandOut]

Bethea has 0 picks and 3 pass deflections all year.

He sounds like the perfect Cowboys safety. :laugh1:

 

[theogt]

We NEED a playmaking safety in the draft.

We don't need a playmaking safety. We need a safety that can be in position and not give up big plays.
