Lots of teams getting new safeties. 9ers, Browns, Bucs, Bears.

Every year this is the one position I wish we would clear up. Until we do, we will NEVER win a thing...

How do you propose that we pay the top Safeties?

When Woodson left he took 10 years of future talent with him. Damn hard to match what he brought to the table. Still searching for a replacement. :(

If Clinton-Dix or Pryor is there - do we take one of them?

People say we don't prioritize safety but I know they inquired about trading up for Earl Thomas, liked Barron, and Kenny Vaccaro would've been the pick last year had New Orleans not taken him.

So it's not like they don't know what a quality safety looks like.

Im still watching Jerry try to find replacements for just about every guy that played for the team in the 90s. Sad thing is we just cut the one guy who filled 94 in better than the last.

Agreed. We love the Heath/Wilcox/Lynn Scott Keith Davis guys. Jerry forgets how valuable Woodson was. Tried with Hamlin and Sensebough. Got one good year from each of them.

Putting Wilcox with those other UDFA guys is not a fair comparison.

You could have two Earl Thomas's out there and it wouldn't matter in THIS defense because we don't have the front seven needed. That will/should be addressed next offseason IMO. Unless we reach on Pryor or Dix in the draft (which I will hate).

Jairus Byrd visiting the Saints? Aren't they in the same cap nightmare situation we are. Plus, they have Kenny Vacarro ?

Meanwhile, Jerry thinks we are fine with Church and random scrubs? Really?

Broncos got a huge steal in TJ Ward.

We have to use our coupons in the draft.

What about Nate Allen? Had a decent rookie year then was hurt. Played better the second half of last season. I'd bring him in for a reasonable deal. Young and still has potential.

Define what you mean by "NEVER" and "win"

we need better safety play. Qb's just throw the ball up and laugh at our safeties trying to make a play.
