Is Derwin James Off The Table Now?

[shanebo]

I don't think James was ever on our radar to begin with -- we simply don't value the safety position enough to take one in the first round, much less to trade up in the first for one. If we liked James enough to move up for him, I doubt we would've traded the 12 in the first place.

Besides, this is a pretty deep safety class. Lots of guys available in 2 or later that could be an upgrade over what we have, either at FS (Reid, Edmonds in 2-3; Elliott, Bates in 3-4) or SS (Harrison, Whitehead in 2-3; White in 4).
