I don't have access to them, that may be smoke and, tbh, I don't need to know the pick in advance anyway. I can wait for tonight. For that matter, I don't need to hear the weekend's picks five seconds before they're announced. Those five seconds won't kill me. But I digress lol
Anyway, I see them taking Brian Branch. The logic is just that I haven't heard much about him. They also weren't all that active in filling Bates and Bell via free agency, which means either they may have someone in house (i..e, Dax, Tycen) and/or are planning to do it through the draft. Even if they're happy with their safeties, they may be looking beyond Hilton (who's on the back end of his deal).
"which means either they may have someone in house (i..e, Dax, Tycen)"
Seriously? Dax is a freaking 1st Rd pick, your comment seems to suggest he is just some bench warmer? He was planned to replace Bates a year ago. We have 3 safeties that run sub 4.4, I'd rather not add a nickel back that runs a 4.6, even though he is a good football player.
