Why don't we talk about Safety as a need more?

We are VERY thin there.

We only really have:

Tyrann (old), Howden and Abram.

Both Howden an Abram had good moments last year, but I think you have to be a little nervous going into the season with only those 3. They could use more young talent there for sure.

I've felt we draft safety in 2nd round for a while.

Cooper DeJean would be a nice get to replace Mathieu, but he'll be long gone before pick 45.

For whatever reason, the position has been devalued. We saw that with the free agent market this year. A ton of the better and most expensive ones were cut and haven't re-signed. I don't know why, but the market for safeties took a huge nose-dive.

You've obviously got to have a couple, and I bet we draft at least one with one of those 4 5th rounders (or use 2 of them to move up into the 4th round for one). But it seems like most teams this year feel like they can always just sign a vet on the cheap after the draft if it doesn't fall to where they're picking and one's not BPA.

Saints are thin everywhere.

I have been saying they need to draft safety early.

I thought they should've went after poyer in free agency.

there are gonna be a few guys who can play the position the way allen wants it in the second, but that pick may be a bit high. not that it seems to bother our front office.

We typically draft and develop extremely well at safety. Pretty good at identifying free agents too.

Not too concerned
