Let me ask people smarter than me something....
IF we took Delpit, is the Dix/Delpit combo doable or do they play the same position only?
I'm not sure which S spot Dix plays or which Delpit projects to. Thx
They are both Free Safeties.
The Cowboys are moving Woods to SS but he is a better fit at FS.
2019 rookie Donovan Wilson appears to have some SS traits but he only played FS in the preseason games.
Darian Thompson started a full season as the Giants FS. He had to replace Heath at SS last season for multiple games due to an injury to Heath. Thompon's tackling was horrible.
It's a tossup on the most horrible example of tacking: Delpit in college or Thompson in 2019.
The Cowboys favorite Safety in the 2019 draft was Abram, who is clearly a Strong Safety type.
The Cowboys 2019 decision to draft DT Hill instead of Safety Thornhill was strongly influenced by the fact that they thought they had a good chance to draft Safety Will Harris in the 3rd round.
- They considered Harris as having the ability to play SS or FS. They considered Thornhill to only be a FS that was more likely to be able to play CB than SS.
- Harris started 6 games as a rookie.
- There was also a big 6-2, 214 CB that they really liked as a possible 3rd round pick. I was always curious if they were projecting that player to Safety.
