Favorite Mid-Late Round Safety

[smuggler]

Who you got? Please consider that you have to spend a draft pick to get these guys, and the rough cost is listed.

[Zool]

I don't understand the question.

[NewsBruin]

I know whom I voted for, but I have no idea what is meant by "advertising."

[Pugger]

Anybody but Southward. He's a fine athlete but a lousy football player.

[3irty1]

I assumed he meant appetizing.

[smuggler]

Nah, I meant it in he way of 'appealing'. Brandon, which safety did you want with a different pick.

[gbgary]

we're drafting one of the top two safeties at the 21 spot. no need for another.

Physically, Dontae Johnson is intriguing, but he's a project. He'll need to bulk up a bit. Where is Brock Vereen projected to go now? From this list, I leaned towards Johnson and Boston. No safety prospect has caught my eye yet.

CBS has him rated as a 6th round pick. But even though they say he has played CB, they say his recognition and anticipation make him more suited to in the box assignments.

Unless both of 'em are gone by #21...

If they are I hope we take Ward in the second.

i'm thinking ward goes very late 1st early second, so if we want him, we either have to

reach a bit (which i have no problem with if the player has talent and it fixes our biggest need), and i think in this case it would

or we try and trade down,which may be next to impossible with everyone else this year wanting to trade down

or we try and trade way up with our second rounder, in which case you might have to give up our 3rd to move up far enough

actually, all of those guys are pretty big projects from what what i've seen

I think those bios were done months ago. Vereen is a late riser. I'm pretty sure other "experts" are projecting him to go higher than the 6th round now. I just didn't know how much higher. He'd be my favorite mid to late round safety, if he qualifies.

Possible on bio. But CBS bought out NFL Draft Scout and those guys have been doing mocks for months. I would hope they keep the bio/round up to date.

The most current ranking I can get on him, I don't see a full draft mock draft on CBS site. These rankings were updated for today. To be consistent with the thread, I left off Dix, Prior and Ward.
