http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2012/04/17/SP3J1O44E6.DTL I think this is huge. The only backup we have there is Tavares Gooden, and good ST guy, but not as capable of a backup as Grant. This makes drafting for depth at this position not a high priority in this draft, and allows us to focus on OLB depth. Plus, I think he could have value at the OLB position in some sub packages. Thoughts?

Yeah. Now lets hope Goldson sees it that way

He's a critical backup. Not sure who would have the other if he left... Spillman ..? A needed back up on the that no one really pay attention to in the offseason. Good to have him back.

Spillman is a safety. I think Gooden is the other backup ILB, he can also play OLB in a pinch.
