May be but you have to be smart about this too. You are trying to compile a team. Xavier has shown he is a starter in this league at the very least and he's young and cheap. With that 1st rounder I need someone who can come in and contribute now and if that's the case to me its more important to get someone on that defensive line than it does a strong safety.
We all have our opinions..
but safety has been a black hole since Woody left.
If we have the chance to finally rebuild this long overdue defense on the backend..
I say do it and just keep looking for FA DLs.
We have to stop the big plays downfield and force the big plays out of the game plan.
How many times did the defense play well and force a 3rd and 12 only to see it get completed for 20+ yds? A lot and way too often.
The defensive pass rush can be helped by blitzing Lbers and DBs, too.
Just my overall thinking.
