You're preaching to the choir on that one. It's one of the main reasons I say Dax is off to a rocky start, even if this was the "plan" (whatever that means0. We're not a team that necessarily re-ups our safeties (see: Bates, Jessie), so one year of his rookie deal has already been lost. That's a steep price. 



That's you. I have. I probably pay more attention to it than you- and that's my problem!- but I've seen it quite often. To the point that I bothered even mentioning it here: Branch, AJ, both Browns, Jammie, Chris Smith... not all necessarily Round 1s, but all to the Bengals. It doesn't necessarily mean anything- it's draft season, you see a lot. But if you tell a common draft pundit to look at the depth chart in view of the FA period that just passed, I don't blame them for prescribing a safety to address a hole.

No, I was not talking about you. Just some people do that. Your comment made me think of it.

I don't mind that Hill acted as a backup for his rookie year, but I would expect him to start his 2nd year.
I expect a 2nd rounder to be pushing for a starting spot his 3rd season.

As for seeing safeties mocked, I don't try to look over too many different sites to see mocks anymore. I pretty much stick to NFL.com, TDN, and maybe one or two other places nowadays. I feel I can make a more realistic pick than some of those other guys lol.
