And remember we can always try to move Dashon Goldson to strong safety if necessary, if we happen to draft a FS and resign Goldson. Is kenny vacarro the consensus #1 safety?

You left out Cyprien from Florida International. I'd put him at 3, behind Vacarro and Elam.

The good news is that this is a deep draft for the top 3 positions of need for us (DB, DL and WR). I think whoever we wind up with will be a solid contributor (hopefully).

The more I see of that Swearinger kid the more I like the idea of Goldson paired up with him. They seem like similar players, cept Swearinger seems to have better coverage skills? Feel free to correct if i'm off base.
Would he still be around beginning of the 3rd?

Possibly.....late 2nd to mid 3rd. He's not super flashy but he's a guy who is always seemingly in position to make plays, very good all-around safety, I like him a lot. Initially I had him in the 4th round but based on everything I've seen, he's definitely going to be picked higher than that.

I kinda hopped off.....there's some things that definitely trouble me about him. I watched him against Boise State specifically...it was pretty bad, he has a strong tendency of overrunning and misdiagnosing plays that was evident in other games as well. He's definitely a ballhawk but I see a guy who takes too many bad risks going for the homerun turnover instead of looking to knock the ball down or simply wrap up and tackle. Some of that can be coached, but generally its tough to change a players natural inclinations and instincts. I still like him as a player, just not as high as I was on him previously
