everyone wants to grab huff bing or landry but in the last couple drafts the stud safetys are coming from the later rounds. look this yr pool and those guys who went early can even crack the starting lineup then you go over to our arch rival the jets who grabbed kelly rhodes in wat i think was the 4th rd and the year e4 that coleman in the 5th these 2 guys r there safeties and r solid look at the packers nick collins 3rd rounder i believe and plenty of younger safeties all im saying is fill a more important position in the 1st or second round and look for a guy like anthony smith from syracuse who was tied for second in the ncaa for ints 3rd on his team in tackles with 75 and by watching him would come up and lay the wood on people
 
A good safety can become like the QB of a defense, it's a very important position. It's hard to pass on guys like Rodney Harrison/Ed Reed/Troy Polumulo/John Lynch/Ronnie Lott. But I hear your point, some can be found in later rounds.
 
Come and join me Da President of the draft Michael Huff campaign.:D He could be our Ed Reed, Troy P., Lynch...etc. I think Daniels and Huff could be dangerous because they can play more than one position. As we Dol-Fans should know Saban likes players that can play more than one position due to all of the schemes that we haven't even seen yet!!! Just think with a mind like Saban with players that can line up anywhere in the secondary what could happen.

Harrison was a late pick if i remember correctly and so was lynch although i am not as sure about him.
 
We're okay on Saftey. I'm surprised at T'Buckey Jones' play early in the year, but he's on for 3(?) years, Yeremiah Bell, Tavares, and potentially, Travis Daniels, ... CB is where we need work, some young DL, and ideally, QB for development.

Your are correct. Harrison 5th rd/Lynch 3rd rd.
 
I have to disagree to n extent that the jets got a good player out of Rhodes...i haven't seen much out of him. But you do have a point. However, you have to take into consideration that harrison and lynch are guys who went later on because, well they're slow. And if you run a slow40 time at the combine then you can very well find your value falling a few rounds. Although neither of them were big names like these guys out of college.

Jones signed a 2 year deal with a salary jump to $3 million next year. In the final year of deal coming off an injury, he'll need to restructure to at most match his $1.5 mill cap hit for this year.
Besides Tebucky, Tillman and LeJeune are the only other current safties under contract for next year. Bell is a restricted free agent. A lot of quality free agent safties in 2006 including Schulters. Think we'll sign at least one, 2 if we lost Bell and Jones.

Schulters and Jones are almost like one and the same. They are comparable. They are both veterans at about the same skill level. Miami does not need both. Jones went down and Schulters stepped up. If Schulters agrees to a fair deal, I could see him getting a deal with Miami while Jones gets the axe.
 
So, who do we get for CB's - and is the draft the place or is there going to be anyone decent in F/A?
:goof:

Agree if one signs/restructures it is highly unlikely the other will be. But if we can't sign Schulters, doesn't mean Jones is a lock. He still has to restructure or he "gets the axe".
 
GREG BLUE UGA 2nd Round...He has been the heart and the leader of the Bulldog defense and was in the shadows of thomas davis , look what he did this year at UGA every play in the secondary he was there and he can hit and isnt afraid to do.
 
at safety we need to bring in corey chavous of the minnesota vikings.
