I went with Safety.
Having an agressive, talented Safety is what's allowed us to do well with less than top tier CBs. I feel like if we continue to have a Rodney in his prime type player we can go far.
I think that's what Sanders is becoming. Besides him we also have Harrison, Wilson, and Hawkins. While we need some new blood at this position, as things currently stand we can survive. Meanwhile at CB, if Samuel goes, we're left with Hobbs and who? Gay - injury prone and may sign elsewhere. Scott - old and gets burned quite a bit. Tory James - God, I hope we don't have to rely on Tory James.
Agreed 100%With Samuel - ILB
Without Samuel - CB
I'm hoping a deal, short term or long term, gets done, so I'm voting ILB.

There are a few decent S in this draft even in the middle rounds.
I can't remember the article, but a local reporter correctly pointed out that the S position has evolved greatly... and that the type of role that a BB coached Safety needs to play requires skills that are even more rare.
It used to be that good safeties were just guys that weren't quite good enough to make it at CB. No more.
The skillset that BB is looking for at S will require him to expend one of his higher picks, if not trade up.
