I had him a bit behind A. Williams at FS. It takes a year to train a safety. We have both Meriweather and Sanders in their contract year. Obviously we needed a safety to train up for 2012.
Dowling has been my #1 FS prospect for a while, I think he's a terrific fit. Very smart and aware player, covers, tackles, active in run support, much bigger AND more athletic than Meriweather. Yes, he has a bad injury history...but that's why he was available in round 2. Top-15 talent otherwise, easily.
