Ramsey can coexist with Jones. Both are talented, athletic, and have position flex. Ramsey is a better football player than Jones, while Jones is the better athlete.

He's my favorite player in the draft. I don't see a way we are in range to get him though. I think he ends up top 5 on draft day. Cowboys probably have to be in the 4-5 win range to even sniff him and I don't see how that happens. If he somehow found his way to striking distance I go up and get him. I think he comes in as a top 5 FS and is the best talent at the position since Earl Thomas.

Having an elite FS is a huge advantage over 95% of defenses. It's the most talent devoid position in football. Offensive coordinators have to scheme completely different than usual because they usually don't face a good FS on Sundays. Defensive coordinators can also scheme completely differently if they have that playmaker in the center of the field. Can play much more aggressively. CBs can take chances on the ball. Can blitz more. CBs can play much more aggressively at the line.

I'm going to stop now before I talk myself into trading up for this guy. Just please let him go to a non NFC East team.

Even if we were in range. When is the last time this team drafted a decent safety?

The thought of Jones/Ramsey at both safety positions gives me goosebumps! Or just them being in the same secondary, think of all the flexibility you'd have with both guys being able to play S and outside/slot CB.

I'm not getting my hopes up. This guy isn't going to slip far enough for us unless he fails the combine drug test or something.
