The good thing for us is safety is one of the deepest positions in FA and the draft. Id honestly like to get 2 new starting safties, 1 in FA and 1 in the draft. We have to bring in 1 quality starter. If we dont get a Trey Smith or a Tee Higgins in FA I hope our big time FA is one of the safties. If not id love to add Justin Reid who has been a big part of the Chiefs great D and wont break the bank but would be a huge upgrade. In the 2nd round of the draft I think we need to come away with one of the top safties in the draft even if it means trading up from the 3rd. I think one of Emmanwori, Starks, or Watts we could with our 2nd round pick. Jahdae Barron would be a great pick in the 2nd as well, the Jim Thorpe award winner who can play S or CB. You have guys like Malachi Moore and Kamari Ramsey who could be had in the 3rd or 4th possibly that could also be upgrades for us.

With that said, this is one of the best years in recent memory if we want to upgrade the safety position in the offseason. It wouldnt be hard to turn one of our biggest weaknesses into a strength with all the very good safeties that will be available. Javon Holland is a FA and would be an amazing get as well. Camryn Bynom is a FA for the Vikings that has played well this year and Talanoa Hufanga will also be a FA. Hufanga could be an interesting get, he will likely a discount being he tore his ACL last year but he is will only be 25 and was an All Pro before the injury. Lots of great options at S this offseason and Baalke or whoever cant mess this up.

There are definitely many good options in both the draft and free agency to upgrade the safety position. The Jaguars also need to add a 2nd starting cornerback to replace Darby. While this position isn't quite as deep in free agency as safety, there are still some good candidates. Charvarious Ward, D.J. Reed, Byron Murphy and Carlton Davis would all be upgrades in our secondary.
