They are using PFF.

 

PFF had him as the best run defender safety..

Well our top analytics guy either for PFF for a long time so it's white possible there isn't going to be a lot of difference.

We aren't using theirs. We have no need to. We've got our own guys

You know my favorite safety since Minter?

Mike effin Mitchell.  Marlon McCree was also underrated for his short time here….  Also really liked Chris Harris.  And they did similar things, although I think Mitchell was the most complete.  Mitchell set the tone with his physicality and that matters.  We haven’t had anyone capable of that since he left.  Between Moehrig and now Ransom, I am excited to see what our safety corps looks like.

Still feels like we don't have a free saftey on the roster. But Ransom still seems like a solid SS or nickel. 

I think it's a bigger deal that we stop the run. Let the front rush and frustrate the passing game and make it easier for the secondary to control the receivers.

In a few years, you will love this pick---smart as hell and did everything they asked him to do.  His CBs at Ohio State were weaknesses, and he helped keep the defensive backs on the same page. 

That Igbinosun dude in particular was a penalty waiting to happen. I'm not even an Ohio State fan and I would get mad anytime he fuged up lol.

I also got mad several times at Penn State. They had a hell of a defense, I think Drew Allar and their WRs brought down the rest of their team severely. The similarly had 2 good RBs and a good defense like Ohio State did. But did not have OSU's level of WR talent or QB play.
