There were a couple years where it was all the rage but it has died off quite a bit. Deonne Buccanon was the poster child for it and it just never worked out. Some have been serviceable but this idea you’d do it all the time and it would be great just never materialized. Williams is a good safety and frankly the secondary as a whole was actually really good. The historically bad LB group was the downfall in coverage and a safety doesn’t fix that...a LB fixes that.

The real poster child was Troy Polamalu.  Why are you arguing about drafting a LB? everyone knows we need linebackers bro so stop beating a dead horse.  Williams is coming to the end of his contract and adding talent is never a bad thing because there are plenty of times you can fit 3 safeties on the field.  I think what most people myself included have realized is that this safety class is really strong while the linebackers are really thin.  Devin White is a great prospect, but he is scary as **** to me because he's really not a great linebacker.  The guy wins on his athletic talent at the college level, but when he gets to the league and he needs to have those linebacker fundamentals he will be found wanting.  This draft is going to be interesting depending on who drops, if trades are available, and how we address needs without overreaching.  I was a guy who was a big supporter of the John Ross pick and I learned a valuable lesson in that draft which is never overdraft a position of need because of potential.
