Before the draft, I wrote that Safety was not going to be a priority because the position is one of the least important on a defense. I'm going to stand by that, and write that the front office seems to agree.
The modern NFL is about pass rush and tight coverage. The Safety is a complimentary position, and we have a really good one in Jones... we can afford for the other to be average while we get our house in order.
That hurt to read. Ugh.
A safety makes the coverage calls, aligns the DBs and is the last line of defense. That statement couldn't be further from the truth.
