He sure tackles well, hard hitter and plays the ball well, just what we need at FS. He and V could rule the backfield. Call Payton and tell him to pull the trigger, I'm in!!

Bucannon is a solid prospect but by no means a finished product. can he reach the limits most have for him is the question. scarey huh and does make you drool a bit

money baby money. it all about the cap. Byrd will be looking for his pay day if not go for it

Should we resign Graham. He will be asking for a lot of money and he is pretty inconsistent. 2 catches for 25 yards isn't a lot but 14 TD's is, I'm very mixed over the subject, I'd love to have him back but at the right price.

Franchise him; geaux to arbitration and settle for average of top TE's vs top WR's; let him play a year under the tag and see if he can play more than just four-six weeks at an elite level against all DB's (including Talib)...

Offensive Line, Linebacker, Safety...

I'd like a stud FS too, but speed at LB and LT are bigger priorities to me, even OC

I still think we should move forward with Terron Armstead as LT. He has all-world potential. All he needed was some time to bulk up and gain weight. He's been in our system for a year now, that should be enough time. He should start next year.

If Ha'sean Clinton-Dix is available at our pick, we should absolutely pull the trigger on him imo. Him and Vaccaro would be a SICK duo. If he's gone though, I want an OLB. Kyle Van Noy out of BYU, specifically. He excels in pass coverage which is something none of our current OLBs can say. Heck, honestly, I think it would be a great idea if we take Van Noy transition him to ILB, replacing Lofton.

Leo, actually he was just drafted this April, sp he's only had the OTC/Training Camp and this partial season to learn, but I agree that you draft 'em and play 'em to see if they're the goods; let the youth and energy offset the rookie mistakes and inexperience will fade with more playing time...

They're are as big an impact free safeties that will be available in rounds two and three, I really would like to grab a ready to geaux offensive tackle or freak linebacker with that first round pick...Van Noy will probably not fit into future plans for this defense and he'll be gone by the time we pick at 32...

Haha, good point on Armstead. Although I was more or less talking about a "football year" than an actual 12 months. He's had OTAs and this whole season, and will also have OTAs next year.

Are there any other safeties besides Clinton-Dix that are starter potential? I haven't really done my research on that position, I just know Clinton-Dix because he's supposed to be a first rounder. Who are some other free safeties I should keep my eye on?
