Safety?

I can't see us letting Iloka walk in free agency. He'll get re-signed or tagged, at the very least.

Now it is early to instantly lock down on a certain position for the draft, but Lap is pretty much a mouth piece for the Bengals. He's the one who talked about Zeitlet. He chose Eifert in his 2013 mock, and plenty of us ripped him for it. I don't remember his favorite in 2014, but he "predicted" Ced O. this past year.

CBS doesn't have any safety projected as a first rounder, but one or two will most likely make their way into the first round.

Jalen Mills is a popular name and some consider him a coach on the field. Jayron Kearse comes from NFL bloodlines and could be a "Freak" like his uncle.

What do you think?

I think the Smith kid we got last year was considered to be a steal. Would love to keep Reggie, but he might get thrown too much money elsewhere.

Mark Barron fits our M.O. and he's a FA.
