This could be, although the Detroit reporters have not sniffed this out yet, if it is the case.

As for the top safeties, here's what the GBPG said today about teams in front of the Packers who need a safety:

"The teams in the market for a starting safety and picking ahead of the Packers are Detroit at No. 10, St. Louis at No. 13, Chicago at No. 14 and Baltimore at No. 17."

This is not entirely true. Detroit has that FA they signed from Baltimore (Idhegibo?) and the other safety they signed from Houston last year (can't remember his name). They both project as starters.

They likely will be looking for a safety, but my guess is that it won't come with the first round pick. They are in "win now" mode, and getting a player with the first pick who may not start immediately, after throwing FA money at the position two years running, is not part of that plan.

Likely they'd draft someone in the third round, if they still have that pick when it comes around.
