That means to me Butler is now going to be the official backup swing tackle, I'm ok with that.

And reports we heard that the team liked Barber at safety is likely to be true.

I think they do like Barber, but this probably also means they feel pretty good about re-signing Eugene Wilson and/or Nick Ferguson. With another safety (FS?) being added somewhere in the draft.

Wilson and Ferguson where givens. Now I will not be shocked if we pass on resigning CC Brown.

Ditto. I hope we've seen the last of CC at S.

After the Wilson signing yesterday I heard that the plan is for Barber and Wilson to start with Ferguson as the back-up. I haven't even considered CC Brown as part of the equation...unless something happens to one of the above guys. I would be surprised if they didn't take another safety as a semi-project late in the draft vs. keeping CC Brown around.

After Glen Earl, I'm a little leary of Notre Dame S prospects. However, David Bruton's Combine was pretty impressive. He meets the Hybrid Safety measurables that I believe the team is looking for.

The other thought is the scouts' history of taking ACC players. It seems we have scouts at every Va Tech game, perhaps they got a good look at Clemson's FS prospect Chris Clemons. He's more of a Centerfielder who allowed Hamlin to be the S in the box. Interestingly, he racked up a ton of tackles and is currently given a 6th round grade by DraftScout.com. Talk about value. Decent size/speed combo 6'0" 208 4.41 - 40. Did I say value?
