If injury were to strike one of our safties, he's there to fill the void and hopefully do a solid job. If we don't have someone like Kenny Philips and Laron gets injured.. what happens? We have a very weak deep secondary.
I know this is based on alot of "Ifs" but no one ever thought that Sean Taylor would go down and it happened. I think we should take the precautions to keep our secondary strong so we don't get torched like 2006.

I agree. Reed is not tha answer at FS or SS, but hey we have alot of question in the secondary. we'll see what happends |
Not a bad point, but there are two reasons that a potential LaRon Landry injury doesn't really justify the Phillips pick:
1) Can Phillips just replace Landry? They seem to be in two entirely different leagues when it comes to quality of player.
2) The same logic applies to every other position. Should we draft Brian Brohm with the 21st pick in case Campbell gets injured? You have to admit, that would be one hell of a contingency plan.
