Several fans stubbornly clinging to drafting one of the safeties in the first round is funny to me.
They clearly don’t grasp the concept that safety isn’t a position considered as valuable as others. Or that the 2020 class didn’t knock any franchises socks off.
Not one of franchises with a first round pick drafted a S. None of the teams w/o a first round pick made a trade up to land one of them.
But you guys believe you know better than everyone else and still would have drafted one in the first round. Brilliant.
I surely hope none of you are mocking the Dolphins or some other franchise for ‘overdrafting‘ or ‘reaching‘ for a player while you continue to subscribe a strategy not one GM agreed with. Not one.
The first safety didn’t come off the board until pick #36.
Meanwhile, SIX corners were drafted before that time. All in the first round.
It’s time to get with the times, ladies and gentleman. CB is a much more valuable position than S.
The Dolphins made the right choice opting for a CB over a Safety in rd 1, regardless whether Igbinoghene ends up being the right one or not.
