DirtySkin21 is right,we need youth at all positions.Springs would make an excellent fit at safety(good cover skills,good tackling skills,smart player that reads offenses,good ball handling and ball hawk skills,did i mention his tackling skills).

I don't seem to ever remember him getting toasted last year. His major benefit as a safety is that he DOES have decent coverage skills. In fact in recent years he has played our nickle back when needed and done a decent job.
And why the heck would we need Hall if we kept Springs at CB and played the two guys we already have at safety? Landry is very good and Doughty showed he coulod be good. Springs could be a terrible safety for all we know. I don't get the love for Springs at safety when he is already clearly our best coverage CB.
Uhh, he got burnt real nicely by DJ Hackett in the wild card game.

He plays like Aaron Kampman/Patrick Kerney type guy.

Reggie Brown turned him around big time in the second game against the Eagles. He almost singlehandedly blew that game.

PP isn't worth his own thread. If we keep him, don't pay him too much. If he leaves? Big deal. Just another mid-level player. I do like the idea of putting springs back at the SS position though.

He's not the best that we have but he provides ok depth. He will be better next season if what they say about knee surgery is true (entering year 2 afterwards). That could have been what, in part, caused him to get burnt pretty badly on occasion. I like signing him cuz of continuity issues and if we are just gonna give his roster spot to someone with equal talent (and a comparable salary) who is new to the locker room, why not keep this guy on team. He had no real character issues and always seems to try his best out there
Long is good but i dont know about #2/3 overall like he's been projected. Definitely a mid first rounder though. I think it speaks to how uniform the talent in this draft is...nobody really knows who is gonna be an absolute stud.

^^Chris long said he doesnt care where he's drafted.(He said he doesnt care if he goes 1sr or 31st) He just wants to focus on his future.
This kid is for real.
