Reed Doughty

JLC has reported a few times that vinney et al have identified safety as a position of need, and it certianly is given what happened last year & that Prioleau might sign elsewhere, not to mention stoutmire.

That doesn't mean saftey is a HIGH priority but if Phillips is there in the 2nd that's a relative bargain & I think they'll have a tough time not taking him. He had an off sr. year but is talented & has a good head/attitude.

That said, I'd love to see Doughty retain the starting spot w/a young speedster taking over on passing downs. Remember how GW had a bunch of safeties on the roster at times? I think his approach was to find the best players available for his nickel & dime packages, if that meant more safeties fine, if that meant more corners fine. Whichever is most effective. Will Blache take that approach or will he prefer to load up on one position to fill those packages?

Well I know that as of about 6 weeks ago they had interest in the middle rounds for Jamar Adams.

Also, I wonder the latest is on Prioleau

that sounds like a good idea to me, a mid round pick for a depth guy that can play coverage ok & special teams.

I would guess that Prioleau would only be offered vet min. or little more. I'd like to see him here, but they do need to get younger & if they draft somebody he (PP) might not make the team anyway.
