WR at #31

Keep in mind that Allen played 19% of the defensive snaps last year despite missing 3 games.  It would likely come down to injuries as to which played more.

Another possibility is that if the FA market stays slow up until the draft, if they draft a S they can pull the tag on Bates(assuming he hasn't signed it yet) and use that money towards more FA's, but that depends on what's left out there.

I like Winfrey, but I just don't like him at 31.

Brisker is that cover 2 and 3 safety that rotates all over. I wouldn't trust him in the high amount of single high that Bates has to play because it's not his game. Daxton Hill and Lewis Cline both play a ton of single high and could slide right into the defense.
