If they don't get their S in the draft, they aren't getting anyone that can help. Anyone that will be available is going to be no better than what we already have. This defense won't improve much if our DB's still suck. The new scheme should help some but I'm not going to count on it. This is why I prefer the draft to be before free agency. It allows teams to go BPA and fill any holes left over with FA. If they don't get a S in round 2 or 3, they most likely aren't getting better at the position. And I'm not saying to take some S that's rated way worse than some other player but when you paint yourself into a corner, you're going to have to be a little more flexible and take a player that close. Teams follow this practice in draft all the time- even the good ones.
I will say this again, if we don't get a Safety in the draft, I'd like to see Kerry Rhodes brought in if he's still in shape. He was a top 5 safety 2 years ago, and I really hope the league didn't black list him for stupid shit.
