Who is left for us at S? I think we would only be looking at URFA, so I won't list any of the restricted ones. Here they are with age:
Darren Sharper 34
Sean Jones 28
Roy Willams 30
Tyrone Carter 34
Hiram Eugene 29
Mark Roman 33
Not a real impressive list. Obviously Sharper and Jones are at the top of that list. I would be happy with Jones. Everyone else gets a big meh out of me and Williams is horrible at this point of his career.
So what are we going to do now that we have been snubbed twice at S?

Welcome back Gibril Wilson.

Will Allen moves to safety?
Maybe one of the rookies moves to safety?
Culver wins the job?
J Allen finally comes out of his shell and proves his worth?adamprez2003, MikeHoncho, The G Man and 1 other person like this. -
Well, there was a rumor that if the FL CB drops to us at 12...we take him and then move Sean Smith over to S. I am intrigued by that.

i may be a little biased bc my fam has rams tickets but i hope we sign oj hes a playmaker.
-
How many other teams have had him in? Any offers?
-
Mark Roman.
He was in SF for Nolan's entire tenure and understands the defense.. -
-
Difference is...Jason Allen sucks.
-
We are going to have to go through the draft let clemons play or go after atogwe
-
Maybe a Dallas reunion with Roy Williams?
-
Hamlin?

There's really nothing wrong with Tyrone Culver. He's played well enough when give the chance. I wouldn't feel uncomfortable starting the year with him at FS and drafting or signing another SS to fill behind Bell.

Atogwe is availanle and Antoine Bethea is also available.

As well as Sharper played last year he is the perfect guy to throw a 2 year contract at for 5 million a year or so in the hope that one of our young guys or a rookie to be taken grows into the job.

My goodness, they pulled Randy Hill off of the the IR mess of 07 and made him a starting Safety, why is it so preferrable to sign people rather than just chill and see who they develop?
I wouldn't mind Will Allen at FS a single bit. -
.... -
I still stand by what I said. Tyrone Culver should start. Not Chris Clemons he was terrible. Culver was solid.
-
Mark Roman.
He might know Nolan's defense, but he can't execute it. I watched all the SF games that year because my neighbor had Sunday ticket and he was a 49ers fan. Mark Roman might be one of the few downgrades from Gibril Wilson. -
I definitely think we should go after Atogwe. I don't know what's with the drop off with him. The Rams franchised him last year and now they don't protect him at all. The kids a playmaker and he's young. I say we poison pill the Rams and make them pay for not attaching any compensation.
-
Will Allen signed with Pittsburgh today so no chance of moving him to safety, Roy Williams couldn't cover a pizza with aluminum foil, and Sharper's coming off a knee injury. I still say Atogwe is the way to go. Save the first round pick for Dez Bryant or the Nose Tackle out of Tennessee.

Option A+: Move up on draft day to get Eric Berry.
Option A: Sign OJ Atogwe to a long term deal.
Option A-: Sign Darren Sharper to a 1-year deal, then draft a FS in rounds 2 or 3.
Option B: Sign Antoine Bethea to a long term deal.
Option C: Draft a FS in rounds 2 or 3, and have an open competition at FS.
Option D: Do nothing
Option F: Re-sign Gibril WilsonSan Marino likes this. -

I was disappointed that we didn't sign Clark. I would have liked to load up on OLB's in the draft. But, we can still do some big things on D. I think our focus should now turn to picking up a NT - unless we like one in the later rounds. That way, after we draft Thomas, we can still get a couple of quality OLB's in the first four rounds. -
Well moving Smith or W. Allen to safety is not a fix. They both can't tackle and our soft on the run! You think D. Clarke running over GERBIL was bad? Well that would happen weekly with those 2 back there!
-
as far as moving smith thats not going to happen. he stays at CB
they arent going to ruin his development at that position
that would be a completely backward move IMO -
If I hear we are resigning Wilson one more time, I will explode. Atogwe is out there for the pickings. Sharper can be signed, but it will not happen for a while, truth is nobody will sign him till that knee is recovered. Last, but not least there is Bethea, Bethea could be signed, but Miami would have to work a deal with Indy.
The only problem with Bethea is Indy loves him and with all the worries of Sanders and his injuries I seiously dont see it happen. I will tell you one thing Miami has shown interest in Bethea. -

Nolan likes veteran FS playing in his defense. He wants someone who is smart and can comunicate very well back there. When he went to SF he signed Michael Lewis, When he went to Denver he got Dawkins & Hill, Here in Miami he almost had his guy and he slipped away.
I honestly think Miami signing a FS is and was Nolan call, and I expect Miami to continue targeting one. Miami is probably on the phone right now and thinking over the different scenarios.GISH likes this.
