I could see Shemar Stewart or Mike Green being the pick because of this. 

Emmanwori we met with, this is who I am leaning towards more and more. Stud Safety can really help an entire Defense as we have seen with
the Ravens over the years. Emmanwori could be Sean Taylor 2.0.

This is what I'm thinking recently. If Campbell has shoulder issues (especially both shoulders), Emmanwori makes sense. BTW, it is disgusting that so many LBs are diagnosed with Labrum tears at the combine. The Cortisone shot culture in College Football is criminal. 

Nonetheless, unless a Will Johnson falls to us, it may be Emmanwori. I don't see another safety worthy of picking in round 1. But we can get a second round CB or S. 

However; after Campbell, I don't see another three down LB worthy of a first or even a second rounder. 

So the choice I do keep coming back to is Campbell.
