re: Thoughts on the Leonhard situation and how it affects Harper/the Draft

Drafting a safety this year, anything earlier than 4th round is retarded. The only way I see us getting a safety in the 3rd is if we trade back. Only way I see us trading back is if none of the top OLB's (or college DEs) aren't available.
How in the hell can you say in any realm of reality that safety is more important than OLB or LT going into this year's draft?
1st OLB
3rd LT (maybe TM7 if available)
4th BPA Safety/WR
5th BPA WR/Safety
6th BPA Dartboard
7th BPA Blindfold dartboard
Trade Back Scenario
1st OLB/LT
2nd LT/OLB
3rd Safety
4th WR
5th-7th Whatever

Our safeties are pretty terrible. LT is obviously more important, but if Lane Johnson somehow manages to drop to us (or we trade up), I feel better about Butler/Junior/Wilson than I do Jenkins/Harper/IAQ/Bush.

Can we trade back every pick? That seems to be the only way fans on this board will be happy about anyone we pick.
What if we just pull a Minnisota and not pick on time and let people pick before us? Would that make everyone happy?

Well Harper only has one year left. And when I originally posted I was under the impression that it would save 3.6 mill if post June 1, so I was hoping to use that to address the tackle spot with a vet like McKinnie in FA. If still available after June 1. Top tackle that would be available to us at 15 or later would be Fluker because None of the big 3 will be there. Don't know how I'd feel about him coming in and being an immediate starter, so I'd rather go tackle in the 3rd (or 2nd if we trade back) since this years class is pretty deep. There's rumors swirling that the Dolphins are trying to trade up and grab the Raiders 3rd pick to get Fisher or Johnson because they don't see the the remaining one (presumably Johnson) getting past both Arizona and San Diego.

By the time you get to the #75 range the need factor is much eclipsed by value. The later the round the more it is BPA.
Very few put safety as the top need. But again, say a #65 on your big board safety and a #85 overall 3-4OLB are there. Who do you take? Not you, but the Saints have a clear history on plucking BPAs regardless of need.
