Well... The NFL Draft is coming. I see many people are getting pretty excited about the possibility of the Houston Texans drafting Laron Landry. Personally, I think that is high for a Safety.
Michael Huff, and Donte Whitner were two safeties drafted in the top ten of 2006, #7 & #8 overall. Anyone know how they did?? Were they "instant" impact??
Huff signed a 5 year deal, $15MM guaranteed. Whitner signed for something under $14MM guaranteed over 5 years.
My Question. Who were the top ten safeties in '06. & how much better were they than our safeties?? Let's say Laron can play at a top ten Safety level... is there that much difference in "production" from the safety position to justify using our #1 overall??
There's a CB that should be available around the #8... There's a RB that might be available at #8, There's a LT, a DE, and a DT who should be available around the #8 position. Maybe even a franchise QB...
