I'm fine with Deone. My first choice is Jimmie Ward and then Ahmad Dixon.
But if we get either of the three I'll be happy.

Which guy was Reid's team mate? I like that idea a lot. Chemistry.

I had a thought late last night regarding this matter. I know I've suggested drafting the likes of Ed Reynolds in my previous post. But just for food for thought I was wondering what if DH is not retained. And what about moving CC over to safety next to ER. I know he's coming off of injury but he has played safety for them gamecocks. Then go out and draft the likes of K. Fuller(whom I truly like in the 2nd rd. this kid plays the ball without having his off arm being wrapped around the WR garnering a PI), Roberson/Puriofy/whatever CB is left. I'd rather a rookie CB playing opposite of T. Brock.
Ok now you cats can throw the noose on me for EVEN suggesting this.

I think someone else suggested this on here also. Minus the SB, Cully was having a great at CB and if he continues to develop, we can potentially have an all-pro at the position. I think PFT had him rated as the CB who gave up the least yards per catch to WRs in the 2012 season. I guess it comes do this question: is harder to find great CBs or SS?

With that said, the 49ers have shown willingness to place a Franchise Tag on a safety....what are the chances they do it again?
Consider the fact that Boldin and Dawson may indeed be re-signed to multi-year deals, and T.Brown/Carlos are released...there will be room to either re-sign Whitner or at least tag him for 2014. What's the Tag Amount for a Strong Safety this year?

bout 7 mil
Jesus. 7 mil for a SS??
Yeah, that's pretty steep.. Hopefully he'll accept something around 5 mil per over 4 years. If not, I'm not so sure he's worth more than 5.5
The problem is, if he goes and Brown goes AND Carlos is released, we literally have no veteran leadership in the secondary. That's scary. Reid is mature and in his second year, but I think it's asking too much of him to be a full-time leader while he's still developing. Brock is a quiet guy who's fairly young. Cully isn't a leader.
Free Agents I like: Mike Mitchell, Carolina...... Major Wright, Chicago
Rookies I like: Deon Buchanon, Washington....Calvin Pryor, Louisville.

When they drafted Reid I read he could shift to SS if needed, so they have a lot of options in Facy and the draft. I would like to see him stay at FS but if they can pick up someone who is better at FS than SS so be it. Whitner may find it difficult to find another job though...the refs seem to have a problem with him, so he may be back.

I just went into the link you provided..so there is no difference between the $ amount between a SS and a FS? That doesn't seem right.
