To me, safety is not one of our top problems. They are:
1. Lack of a consistent pass rush
2. Lack of a consistent running game.
3. Lack of time for QB to get the ball off.
I believe that if we had played with an all-pro free safety all sixteen games last year, we would have still finished with about the same record or maybe a little better.
If we would have played with an-all pro left tackle instead of that free safety, I think we would have definately have made the playoffs.
If we would have played with an all-pro weakside DE with Mario on the strong side, I think we would have definately made the playoffs.
If we would have played with an all-pro halfback we would definately made the playoffs.
Sure, having an all-pro free safety would be nice, but safety is not one of the priority positions in the draft. You can't have an all-pro at every position. This year, eight offensive tackles were picked in the first round. How many safeties were picked in the first round?
Think about it.
