I'd much prefer Blackmon to Simmons, if they are both cheap. But either would be welcome if we whiff on S in the draft.

G: Hernandez, Scherff, Risner 
S: Blackmon, Simmons 
CB: Gimore 
RB: Dobbins 

If that logic was used 100%, no rookie should ever play or start.

I understand as fans we only have the time we see these players play in meaniful games. But the coaching staff sees them in practice over and over again. It is also their main job to develop players. I am advocating for a huge upgrade at safety,  I see 2 possibly round 1 picks and a 3rd, maybe in early round 2. I am fine to draft one with pick 17. But I am also am not dismissing our 2nd year safety or our 3th year safety who was great on special teams one year after ACL surgery.

Only the FO and coaches know who on our current roster is in need of an upgrade. The draft will add a piece to the puzzle as it tells us their short and long term concerns by who they draft.
