blkbigdog35 11,378 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Jevon Holland, Oregon Paris Ford, Pittsburgh JaCoby Stevens, LSU These are three prospects that have sparked some interest. I haven’t looked at any others as of yet but this is definitely going to be a very important position to fill! PokerSteve and k-train 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He is, but he’s got the best instincts of any safety in what is a pretty good safety class. If he was a couple of inches taller, dude would be the top safety taken.

k-train 9,099 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 14 minutes ago, Mister pudding said: Love his play! It really seems like a cop out to call him a poor man's Polamalu given they both: Are of Polynesian heritage Went to high school in Oregon; played both offense and defense Played safety in college Went to USC Displayed great playmaking ability Showed they could cover, hit, and had the range to play all over the field But if the shoe fits...

Add Holland to that list. IMO he’s the best FS in the draft. Perhaps the best to come out in a couple of years. JohnnyFranchise and k-train 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Voice of Reason 802 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 22 minutes ago, k-train said: He's one I haven't checked out yet, but plan to soon. “Jevon Holland aligned at safety for the Ducks defense. He shows excellent versatility and football intelligence to align in multiple places in the secondary. He demonstrates good leadership and communication on the back end and easily adjusts with motion. He is an excellent athlete with loose hips, agility, and body control while in coverage. When aligned in the slot, he demonstrates the coverage upside to allow the coordinator the flexibility to make different calls. As a result, he demonstrates the skill set that will allow the defense to stay in base against 11-personnel. He has tremendous versatility and the ball skills to make him an elite prospect at the position” - Thedraftnetwork.com PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fleurieu falcon 282 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 The free safety in 2021 would have more upside if they didn't have past injury issues, like Cisco or Sterns. I have more confidence in drafting a variety of players in the ss position that play closer to the line of scrimmage like hufanga. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Em_Jae20 275 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Either of the TCU safeties would be huge for our secondary. Trevon Moehrig in the second round and Ar'Darius Washington in the 3rd or 4th would do wonders for us. FA91 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Washington, Ford, Holland, Hufanga, Hamsa, Grant, Cisco, and Sterns are pretty much good for this system. I'm not very high on any, but I would much rather look at FA and possibly go with a top CB in this draft. Surtain or Samuel. Since this years CB draft is more top heavy than deep, there will likely be an early run on CBs and the top four guys could likely be gone before our second.
