Whose instinctual in our safety room...what has good instincts?  Maybe Dewey..who isn't athletic enough.

Upgrading from Cisco...who is the only a safety who I think won't be back...is a must.    We're not bringing back Kirk so we're going to have the $$$ to upgrade the position.  The bar should be Derwin Jones.  A big, instinctual and fast safety that plays with his head on a swivel.

Unfortunately, it may have to come in the draft..

If he makes it to the 3rd round...I'm looking at Kevin Winston out of Penn State AND getting a free agent safety that will be on the Jags for 5 years.  Savage and Dewey aren't going to be on the team in 2 seasons and I haven't seen anything from Anthony Johnson to say he's going to be a regular starter when his rookie contract runs out.

Jags need safety help in the worst way.  Mostly because our LBs are crap in passing situations.

Savage = Ezra Cleveland on defense.    Good enough to be an average starter...but not good enough to be retained by his previous squad and it didn't take breaking the bank for the Jaguars to acquire his services.    A guy that you want a better player at the position. 

Which is exactly where I think Cisco is THIS coming year.    Cisco = Savage of 2024.

Ezra Cleveland is 20x better at LG than Savage is at any position in the secondary.  

Savage had maybe two good games at nickel and 15 bad ones at NB, SS& FS
