| Assuming Huff, Williams, Bing, and Simpson go in the first, who is your favorite 2nd-4th round safety? |

I am honestly not a huge fan of watkins... I think he is a bit overated.... I think Whitner is a 1st RD talent that will fall to the 2nd...

I must confess that my knowledge of Whittner is similar to most peoples' knowledge of Simpson, that is to say it is non-existant. I am interested to see his Combine results in order to better guage his value. To hear people talk about him though, he seems like he would be a good option.
OH, and I don't understand why people are down on Watkins. He has been the most consistently effective Safety this year in college, especially in the 2nd half of the season & in FSU's big games.

| I like Watkins and Bullocks. I like Watkins for his athleticism and range, and Bullocks for his ball hawk skills. For the big hitting safeties, I like Pollard from Purdue. |

watkins. range and athleticism, as above. but also the potential to hurt people too if he can add some bulk to his 6'4" frame without losing speed.

I voted for allen but I like bullocks too. If blue were available in 4th or 5th I have to admit, Id want him.

the reason why I like Watkins and Bullocks is that they are huge hitters with cover skills that a safety shoudl have. think of guys like Brian Dawkins.

easily. I think he would be a lot like an enforcer who can actually cover. the only reason he falls is a deep S draft. maybe getr Bullocks i nthe 4th... trade down i nthe first and get MAroney...

| The only problem with Watkins is my opinion is that he is very lanky. Right now he is 6'4" 200, so do you guys think he could add 15-30 lbs in a year or 2? He's got pretty good cover skills, but he will get pushed around if he doesn't add the weight. |

10-15 pound he could easily add to his fram... 30 is not likely. but I think he will gain 10 in the first eyar and 5 in the 2 years following to give us a beastly sized safety if we had him at 6'4" 220
