One fan's (bleacherreport) take:

B+ feels like a fair grade.

I have to agree with the Safety thing. They are on record saying S in this draft is deep, and they can address is there, and that is a good thing. This team needs to address more holes in the draft than it has the first 2 years, we can't be FA buyers every year.

However, Clemons is an excellent cover S, what they need, and he is still on the market. He can be had for a 1 or 2 year deal, for what I assume is very reasonable money. I don't see why the Colts wouldn't sign him.

I've heard before that the Colts consider the two S safety positions interchangeable, so maybe Clemons isn't as good against the run as they would like, but playing with two Landry types starting at S is not a recipe for success I don't think.

As proven last year...Clemons is regarded as weak v.s. the run. Reason I selected Bucannon as our pick in round 2, was for these very reasons. Need, fit and value.

He certainly is weak against the run, this is a passing league though, and having a Centerfield type S like him to go with our man to man CB style would be helpful I think. I am no coach, or GM. If they think having two in the box types is best, then fine, I just don't see it.

I certainly see your point and agree that we need a viable ballhawking Safety to offset Landry's limited range. Now was that limited range due in part to injury? Dunno...

Ed Reed has never been a safety who lays people out and he did fine in a Pagano style system.

A quality safety can do both. I would hope that's what we're looking for in the draft. Some of the best safeties over the years have played in 3-4 defenses. We need a stud safety.
