I rather get johnson then George. I was thinking George had size, but when I looked at his game videos I did not see anything that impressed me. I would take George in the fourth. but we really need a safety and smith or johnson make great sense for us. Franks also can play the nickel position. Franks does not look as big as what Nolan would want, but it is a close size.
being serious Smith reminds me like troy polamalu. if the vikings are thinking of him at 35 pick. then I would move up to take this guy possible. I hate moving up and all that crap, but looking at the game film on smith is "wow". the guy is all over the field and still hits big. With this league going more and more into protecting players, then you need someone who can do interceptions and move all over the field.

I don't think Smith will be there at #55, but I don't think we'll trade up for him either. That is simply too expensive when we don't have a lot of high picks this year.

What I think can happen, is that we might trade down a couple of spots if there is a trade partner, so we could grab Johnson in the late 2nd or early 3rd (if he's there) plus get some more picks to either pick players, or trade to move up in later rounds as TD likes to do.

Agreed. There is no way we are going to trade up for a guy unless it's a guy who can start right away and will play a minimum of 75% of the plays. Too many needs & not enough ammo to justify a move up in the 1st half of this draft.

ahhhhh this draft year has me so confused

I'm obviously biased, being an alabama fan but what about dequan Menzies? played corner at a high level in the sec but I saw mayock had him as a safety. perhaps a Trumaine Johnson type player that may be available as late as the 5th?

random but  I just saw that Bryce brown is entering the draft... heck if he's still there in the 7th I think we'd be fools not to give him a shot.
