Gleason never actually played safety, and I don't really think he was ever a legitimate option. He couldn't even warrant some playing time playing behind these "phenomenal" safeties:
Roman Harper (who will be better 2 years removed from ACL surgery)
Jay Bellamy
Josh Bullocks
and my personal favorite
Tebucky!

I even think we brought Bellamy back after he got cut rather than letting Gleason play safety. Gleason was always a special teamer, and only a safety because he's required to belisted at some position. He might as well have been listed at DT. I loved Gleason, but he obviously couldn't play safety.

I've wanted Dre Moore in the second since day one, but neither he nor Fred Davis will be there guys. They have solidified themselves as 1st rounders. Now....if Dajuan Morgan (FS-NC State) is there....you gotta' take him. This guy is gonna' be a really good safety.
