*(LONG)* Late round SS/FS 'SLEEPERS'

I really like DJ Wolfe b/c he played both corner and safety like his teammate Reggie Smith. And he used to be running back behind Adrian Peterson so he's still learning to play DB. We could use someone who could back up both spots.

Kid played some CB too I live in ATL this kid has been playing a G-Tech forever, solid player

(Internet Scouting baby just like Vinnie C)

Both safeties from Oklahoma got smoked by speed when they played WVU in theyre bowl game.

how bout a tackling machine,in hard hitting Eric Wicks from WVU who will be very late round pick.As a backup safety,whomever it may be,will only come in on running plays,and play special teams.So,why spend a 3rd or 5th when it could be used on the offense and defensive line.He may not even be drafted,but the defensive scheme at WVU is the cause of that..

I would probably pick marcus griffin if he was still around in the fifth round because he made some pretty nice plays in Texas. I dunno about another guy named Jamal Lewis. And the little that I was of DJ Wolfe I liked, he wasnt too bad in coverage.

i'd pass on all of them.

Pass on Silva. He has great ball skills but is way too slow. He may have to become a LB in the NFL think he ran like a 4.7

Reed Doughty ran a 4.69 so whats the difference between the two other than Silva having ball skills, which means that Silva would be better than Reed Doughty because Reed Doughty has been watching Butter Finger Rodgers for the last two years.

doughty can tackle. really well.

doughty can tackle. really well.

He's not much of a playmaker though. It would be so much more useful to have someone making plays on the ball across from Laron Landry, who's also quick so they don't get burned on deep balls.

then we should get someone before the 6th round of the draft. the 1-3rd round will have some decent starting safeties. after that, there really isn't a lot there, and no one on this list is going to blow doughty away by any means.
