Favorite Mid-Late Round Safety

[Fritz]

ESPN has him 7th overall at S (no designation between FS and SS) and 116th overall (which puts him in about the 4th round range), and even their rankings are a bit old.

"WEAKNESSES Has tiny hands, short arms..."

[Fritz]

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.

I hope he has moves like his grandfather...

[Carolina_Packer]

I hope the Packers do not overdraft a safety to fill a position of need. TT will probably stay true to his board, and either pick the BAP at #21 or move back and acquire picks if he feels like he can get the players that he likes later. I totally agree with those on this board that the Packers need to address safety and find a special talent. What I don't agree with is drafting a safety at #21 no matter what. Make the board and stick to it based on the scouting projections not immediate need. No matter if they choose Pryor, Clinton-Dix or whoever at safety, that player will have a learning curve just like all the draft picks, and will take some time to make an impact.
