It may be called a bargain bin type of FA but Andre Cisco is on my radar.  I mean he was in Jacksonville so we may have not seen his best. Still young and will be much cheaper than the San fran guy with an alphabet soup name or Holland. 

Safety in the NFL is a tricky evaluation that depends on the things you want your safeties to do.  Deep zone, run support, man, nickel, etc.  I don't know much about it, but I have heard some NFL safeties talking about the fit.  I am not that familiar with what we expect our safeties to do, but for some reason, some fairly established safeties were not very established here last year.   I think I struggle because the S is often out of the picture on TV.  I might need to get a wider screen to be able to see them.  Found Footage Video GIF by Eternal Family

the more I think about this the less enthusiastic I am about it. I would much rather spend money on the defensive line and then get a second tier free agent rather than make our big splash on a safety.

In an ideal world we end up with an edge (chase young or harold landry), pass rushing 3-4 end (maybe milton williams or allen) and a true NT as our three big splashes. 

Sign a second tier safety prospect and then use our second or third rounder on a safety.

This, big time I read some piece on him and how the Panthers run cover-3 as base and that's where Cisco was best at too. He should be cheap, or cheaper than those 15-20 million safety.

    • it gets really weird.  But you got a straight shot down to Columbia and I guess straight up to VA if you are the Panthers.   I would assume the western mountains and western NC/SC ends up drawing a line and boxing them out of that area.    
    • Here is how I do it--consider that most teams improve (at least on paper) each year: QB:  Can we say we improved here?  Bryce is trending up and we got him 3 weapons and no more protection.  WASH RB:  Adding Dowdy and Eteinne is a pretty significant upgrade.  UPGRADE TE: Adding a large TE with good hands and initial quickness over Thomas.  Tremble and Sanders should improve.   UPGRADE. OT: Ickey is improving each season and Moton (we hope) will be healed up and ready to go.  WASH OG:  No changes WASH C  : No changes WASH WR: Added the best WR in the draft, one that other teams tried to trade up to get.  Added Horn, and the Colorado WRs were scary good (making Shedeur look good).  XL and Coker will improve.  Lots to like.  UPGRADE In my view, we needed to upgrade WR, TE, and RB.  We did.  I am guessing that C and OT are on the table to be upgraded in 2026. Edge:  Nic and Princely replace Barno and Johnson and join Clowney, Wonnum, and Jones.  Strong room.  Biggest Need.  UPGRADE DL:  We get Brown back, so upgrade without doing another thing.  Wharton, Brown III are both upgrades.  Cam Jackson as a rookie NT---depth and size we did not have.  UPGRADE LB:  We added Rozenboom in free agency, and he was a decent addition.  I think we will add an UDFA.  I think our LB play will improve with better edge, DL, and S play.  SLIGHT UPGRADE CB: Horn and Jackson are back, both following their best seasons.  We added a CB (Devonshire) off the waiver wire and there are a few UDFAs who could actually make the team.  WASH S: Ransom and Moehrig will probably start, with Richardson and (maybe Nick Scott) as depth.  I think we are going to like these Safeties. UPGRADE We had desperate needs for Edge players, IDL, and Safeties.  We upgraded them all.  I am not happy with the ILB situation or CB depth. Special Teams:  Too early to tell. BASICALLY, ON OFFENSE WE UPGRADED WEAPONS IN 3 AREAS WITH 4 PLAYERS.  THE OL IS UNCHANGED. ON DEFENSE, WE UPGRADED DE, NT EDGE, AND S--4 AREAS WITH 4 DRAFT PICKS (edge, edge, safety, and nose) and  5 FREE AGENTS (nose, defensive end/DT, edge, corner, safety)  THAT IS A HUGE OVERHAUL, with starters at DE (2), NT, OLB Edge, and Safety--a total of 6 of 11 players who did not play last season (including D. Brown). We won 5 games last season.  I think we can win 8.5 if all goes well.
    • Thought it was a great draft overall. Only thing I probably would have preferred was Billy Bowman and Malachi Moore in the 4th. Wanted Tez, but Horn is a similar receiver type so good with it if they think he's a better fit.
