"As appreciative as I may be with who these men are who are running our organization, IMO, there is no excuse for having not properly addressed our glaring issues at S since Nick Collins went down in September of 2011. No excuse. That's a personnel problem."
Statements like that, are just plain bullshit.
#1 Nick Collins took a couple of years to show what he had as a Safety.
Ted had Burnett and Jennings already on the team, then he brought in McMillian, Richardson, and last year Banjo.
Everyone one of those guys showed just as much promise as a rookie as Nick Collins did.
I guess Ted's crystal ball hasn't been working, he should have known Richardson was going to get injured, McMillian was going to fold under the pressure of having to start, and Jennings was going to regress his 3rd year.
The S position is very thin this year in the draft.
There are 3 good ones available, but unless Ted wants to trade the farm, Clinton-Dix will probably be gone.
,
That leaves Pryor and Brooks, should Ted reach at 21 for either of these guys, or hope one of them fall to him at 53?
And if he does , where is the guarantee any of these guys are the answer?Hasean Clinton-Dix, FS, Alabama(1st rnd)
Calvin Pryor, FS, Louisville(1st or early-mid 2nd)
Terrence Brooks, FS, Florida State(1st or early-mid 2nd)
Jimmie Ward, SS, Northern Illinois(3rd)
Ed Reynolds, FS, Stanford(4th-5th)
Kenny Ladler, FS, Vanderbilt(4th-5th)
Craig Loston, SS, LSU(5th-6th)
Ahmad Dixon, SS, Baylor(5th-6th)
