Both are natural strong safeties and neither have a ton of range like the role of  what Reggie Nelson did for us. If you add someone that can play centerfield to this defense, you will see a ton of pressure taken off the CB's. 

Eddie Jackson from Alabama is very much a center field type of FS and is projected in Rounds 3-4 because of his injury that kept him out the last seven games. The Bengals also wanted to give Josh Shaw a chance at safety last offseason but had to keep him at CB due to injuries at that position.

Bottom line is that the Bengals are picking in a tough spot at #9. Unless Garrett or Allen falls, there are a ton of ways to go, and all the remaining options either are considered reaches, luxuries, or gambles.

I'm starting to get the feeling the team throws everyone for a loop and takes Teez Tabor, CB Florida.
