From all indications we're going D-Line or corner in the first round anyway... Safety is the least of our needs

we had the two lowest ranked safeties in the NFL. I say we might need to take a peek at it. We need game changers. Turnover causers. Kenny Vacarro's. Trust in Burna. My insight we lead us to the promise land!!!!

Check Harper and Jenkins rankings when they were in Gregg Williams man to man defense. We're moving closer towards that with Ryan and farther away from the Spags zone scheme.

In fact; Harper will be in the box when Rob has the "46" in short yardage situations... I can see him getting more sacks/tackles now than he did with Williams

We had numerous players ranked near dead last in the NFL last year, including many still on the team at CB, OLB, DE, and ILB.

Take your pick, every position sucked last year, not just the last line of defense.

Typically safeties are exposed after the rest of the defense blew it.

Typically, but our safeties have been exposed since Sharper hung up the cleets. It wasn't just last year. Harper made the Pro Bowl off tackles. He had a lot of tackles because our defense was poo. A safety should never lead the team in tackles.

We can make excuses for them. A good pass rush helps out the secondary...well...a good secondary helps out the pass rush.

Im not for defending our safeties, or Danno but....

Uhhhh Burna, Vaccaro only had two turnovers last season... He hardly constitutes as a game changer, he's just a guy that won't get you killed.. Hell he's a Malcolm Jenkins clone!!!! Eric Reid and Baccari Rambo are both gonna be better unless Vaccaro winds up on the 49ers.

I watched Eric Reid for three seasons at LSU.

He will hit really hard.

He SUCKS at tackling.

Horrible technique. If I saw it, I'm sure Chavis saw it too. If he couldn't take the coaching then? I don't have hope that he will take it in the NFL.

Pass

for the record I'm a huge Tigers fan
