On the nose.Didn't Meriweather do something like 11?
BB recently stated that he is re-evaluating safeties due to the need of them having to be able to cover more athletic and pass catching TEs. It sounds like he is looking for a corner with enough physicality to play safety as well. He even dropped Malcolm Jenkin's name in there as someone who played corner but has the means to play safety.
Also, I wouldn't rule out Rashad Johnson from Alabama. Saban raved about the kid's intelligence and leadership so BB might go that route to shore up our safety position.

This is a reasonably deep draft for Safety, if a bit shallow at the top. I'd be happy getting Delmas early and shopping for a Chip Vaughn or a Stephen Hodge later.Believe me I'm not a traditionalist. But, I still like to see one safety a lil "strong"er than the other. One that can go head to head with a tight end.
You, know I started writing that, then thought of one play in particular where this would have helped, and believe me I'm one of the bigger Meriweather fans in here, he was my personal choice to draft that yr (just barely ahead of my UMich boy Woodley-not David Harris). Anyway, back to my point: the jets conversion on third and long.

I'm sure the LB needy teams will rate Hodge earlier, but he's still my Rodney Jr. and would be a great 5th round choice to emulate Rodney's career start.I bet Hodge moves over to LB. I love Vaughn though.
