I get it, but thinking of the future at the position.  Adams can't have more than 3-4 years left at his age.

I continue to say it was pretty stupid not drafting a TE and more importantly a Saftey. Not saying Samuel is a waste of pick at all, but there were still some good safteys on the board at 40. 

Highest draft priority next year should be Saftey , DE, TE .

Shaq would serve best as an emergency RB....not emergency S.

Didn't he play rb as well at Washington?

Yep.  Some thought he would be a better RB than LB in the NFL.

Is he really that fast?  He doesn't look like he's any faster than our other LB's.  All this talk about him being this super athletic LB, but I don't see it on gameday.

That's not the talk I remember when he was drafted, never the less, he doesn't have the typical LB body and has the speed to play safety. And pardon me Mr. Icon if I've insulted your know-it-all sensibilities.

He doesn't have the speed to play saftey....

[J.Cage]

Nah. 

 

Worley? maybe.

If we're switching anyone to safety, I think it should be Worley. The guy does tackle with less fear than most DBs, he's got the speed to cover the field and has better than average coverage skills. But only if we get a worthwhile replacement for him at CB. I don't think he is nearly as suspect there as he has been billed.

If I'm not mistaken, I think Worley led the NCAA in INT's during his last year in college. I agree with everything you said above. If Carolina has a better CB prospect on the roster, or acquires a better one next season, I think that could be a positive move for the secondary.

He played well while covering Larry Fitzgerald in the playoffs. Why not?

Cash should have been a SS. He could have played Mike Mitchell's role.

[aGDevil2k]

Shaq just doesn't have the instinct that comes with playing a lot of SS.  COULD he be a good one? Yeah maybe after a long while of practicing...but there's no time for it. 

Cash could have been, but Gettleman wanted him to be a LB...and now he's a free agent.   But I thought Mike Adams did well last week

[Mr. Scot]

Not in favor...
