Positional ranking Free Safety Pre Combine

[Ochmed Jones]

Again not a deep class, so BB will need to get one early or wait and get one late.

Position Requirements: See Strong Safety thread.

Rankings:

1.) Martin - Oklahoma State - Could be a better tackler and better in coverage. Early to Mid Second Round.
2.) Lester - Alabama - Weak against the run, superior in coverage. Play maker. Early to Mid second round.
3.) Iloka - Boise State - Great size and decent speed. Coverage needs work. Fourth Round.
4.) Henry - Wisconsin - Decent size and decent speed. Coverage also needs work. Fourth round.


Sleeper: Robinson - Michigan State. - Smaller guy with great speed. Work a chance. Sixth round.

I was wondering if the Pats would try McCorty at safety and they did and he looked good. A safety tandem of Chung and McCorty could be very good. Then they could go after a corner and I like the corners better than the safeties in this draft overall. Having the all UVA starting corners with Dowling and Minnefield would allow them to play press and then Aarington could move to his more natural slot position.

Yes please. Especially because McCourty, Dowling, and Minnifield could be used interchangeably in the secondary. I've been on the warpath to draft Minnifield for just this reason for the past three+ months.
