I missed something I guess. Who said we need secondary help? Whoever said that's been under a rock.

We clearly need help at safety.

You know that's a secondary position, right?

Yes...we have safeties...and to make a broad brush statement like we need secondary help was very vague. The need is not dire.

 

[Rayman70]

A need at safety? YES...but 90% of the secondary is set.

 

[Rayman70]

I'm not ready to give up on Frazier and Woods..both safeties...

Safety is an obvious and glaring need. We have Heath. Jones is moving to CB. Woods is a situational player who spent more time playing slot CB than S last year.

The statement is not "vague" - professions regularly talk about position groupings as that's how they organize in practice and position meetings

90%?

So name the nine locks then.

We have at least 3 on the squad today and will most likely draft one and pick up a UDFA. No need to spend big bucks
on an older guy.

Talkin about the starters we invested picks in over the last 2 years. Anthony Brown, Jones, Woods, Chido,Jordain Lewis, Duke Thomas(bubble guy)...Marquez White(will get a chance to play).

 

[Rayman70]

While we could always use another talented cb,I wouldn't call it high on the list of need.

Where's your 90% then?

We havevan obvious need at safety. Your initial comments on the issue were incredibly wrong

Wasn't what I was saying. Dude said "sign me" at WR so you can use the pick you would have spent on the secondary.

I might have expanded the comment to include the entire back 7, but it wasn't an ignorant comment as others claimed

Someone like Boston is younger than Heath FWIW.

If Jones truly makes the switch to Corner, our safety spot is incredibly green. Woods spent a good amount of snaps IIRC at slot corner and Frazier got some playing time in spot duty.

Burnett sort of set the market for the safety spot, with his 3 year 14.5mil contract. Unless of course a team offers more $ on a 1 year deal.

If anything, I think we need a vet at safety, not WR. With losing Scandrick, our most tenured vets in the secondary are Jeff Heath and Anthony Brown. That's why Earl Thomas would have been huge and coupled with a 3rd or 4th round pick at safety could shore up the secondary for years and give them a good leader in Thomas for 2 years. I'd prefer us to get a WR in the 1st, keep Dez, trade for a good veteran safety (assuming Earl is too expensive) and go LB/OL in the 2nd and 3rd.

Stephen and the FO has never spent big on the safety position. The love Heath, Frazier and Woods. I think they will draft one and pick up a UDFA.
The coaching staff has spoken and McClay isn't looking for Safety FA. They are looking for OT, WR, LB and LG.

Nope...not gonna happen. Cowboys don't value the safety positon that much.
