Eric Berry won't still be there at 12. Earl Thomas may not even be there. At this point it looks like we'll work out Sharper in about 2 weeks and sign him. Maybe if we don't trade out of 12 and Thomas is there we'll draft him. We're stuck at FS because the FO doesn't want to poison pill Atogwe apparently and Brodney Poole got signed by the Jets.

 

I also don't think either Thomas or Berry will be available to us. If the indications as some have interpreted from the FO is that they want to see what Clemons and Culver can do, adding Sharper makes a lot of sense. It looks as though we will have at least two new starters on D (OLBers) so having a Sharper there to 'QB' the D will help a lot, while still giving time for the youngsters to learn the game better...

 

Maybe we will take Reshad Jones with our 2nd or 3rd pick ?

 

by adding Sharper we have an elite FreeSafety for a year or two
1) could compete for the BigEnchilada immediately
2) can use him to develop & mentor Clemons and Culver & perhaps a 2010 draft choice
3) this is obviously the way to go
having said that
do think the Saints would let him just walk away?

 

Sharper was only elite in the Saints defense because he was free to roam and ball hawk he wouldn't be doing that in our defense thus he would be very Mediocre.

 

Well Im not sure about the Cardinals but I would be more concerned about the Saints.

 

Saints/Cardinals
my bad
sorry
that being said Sharper
would be an answer
to the defensive backfield
if we could swing the deal

 

I feel like singing out your posts.

 

Seriously, 23rd...you really think that by simply adding Sharper, we are competing for the SB ?? Wow...I love the fins and have aqua and orange colored glasses like the rest of us here, but that's a bit of a stretch, dontcha think ??

 

yes
I think we're that close
really

 

what makes you say that we are going to work Sharper out in a couple of weeks (not saying it is not true just wonder where you heard that)?

 

Well you beat me to the punch on that. Because I haven't heard anything even hinting to that.
Like you, I'm not disputing it, but I'd like to know where this came from.

 

I'd give him WHATEVER HE ASKS FOR on a two year deal and draft a safety in the third of fourth round to compete with Chris Clemons as Sharper's successor.

On a short term deal I could care less about the amount of guaranteed money. Sharper is one of the best safeties in the league and will remain so for the next year or two, maybe more.

 

a deal is being worked on as we post
this is a real possibility & 2010 resolution
to our rookie defensive backfield
& yes I do believe we can make a run
on the BigEnchilada if we secure Sharp
