David Bruton

okay. i think everyone will agree that we need a free safety. what do you guys think about this guy? in '07 he had 85 tackles w/3 picks and last year 91 tackles w/4 picks. his been a solid player with a few knocks - the biggest one being trouble wrapping up the ball carrier. he's big and physical at 6'2" 220. not to mention he blew up the combine - leading the pack in almost every category.

this year's safety class is sketchy to me. even the top couple guys have serious question marks. would you spend a 4th on him? a 5th? explain.

of course i posted this just hours before we signed wilson. figures.

i'd still burn a late rounder on him.

I was on Bruton awhile ago...he has good ball skills and is very intense and a very hard worker and a special teams fiend he would be a solid pick up. Good late value if he is there

i agree. nfl network interviewed him recently and his character is through the roof. he talked about how he had his kid freshman year and it was the best thing that could have happened to his football career. gave him that extra motivation to succeed and put in that extra time - whether it be on the field or watching game film. late round gem for sure.
