We don't really need that though
yeah but it's a long-term strategy
dealing backup QBs for high draft picks is a good long-term investment strategy
it doesn't apply, but imagine if we could have dealt our backup for a top 2nd round pick this year, like the 49ers did

but we can't, and we're left with relative values of postiions

In order for that to happen the backup has to see significant playing time. If he's doing that we are in trouble.

when it comes time to pay for them, the market does not reflect this
also, i don't think you understand that the comment is also saying that drafting safeties late is smarter than drafting safeties soon. that's where the "value" comes into play

jarvis will likely continue that tradition

So the 49ers traded away a former #1 overall pick for a second round selection. They used an early second round selection on Kaepernick a couple years ago.
Maybe the Patriots picks of Cassel and Mallet might be a more appropriate example of this tactic.

i just used the most recent one (and given the fact that we lack a 2nd round pick)

I'm not the biggest fan of taking safeties early, but a lot of good safeties have been taken in the first round.
Mark Barron 7th overall pick
Harrison Smith 29th overall pick
Earl Thomas 14th overall pick
Eric Berry 5th overall pick
Brandon Merriweather 24th overall pick
Michael Griffin 19th overall pick
LaRon Landry 6th overall pick
Donte Whitner 8th overall pick
Most of those players have been All Pro or Pro Bowl selections. The fact is, if we need a safety and a great one is available... take him.
