Likely why so many have us taking SS in their mock drafts.

Yeah count me in the draft crowd. SS is a major draft need imo unless we can land a good one in FA. It may be one of the guys on IR, but the coaches never really seemed set on our SS spot at all in the offseason. Zimmer likes Mays talent most but maybe Mays is just struggling to turn it into NFL level skill. There are a few solid S's in this years draft tho.

As long as they don't go out for a screen pass, man that is frustrating.

I'm afraid Witten will tear Lawson apart if he tries to cover him. Lamur has been solid with his speed on defending slot receivers and tight ends

C'mon Emmanual

Yeah, watching Lawson in coverage last week was pretty painful. I remember seeing once where he was a solid 5 steps behind who he was supposed to be trying to cover. Not really a fluke either, because I have been seeing it all year. Maybe he can put on 15lbs and become a full time DE? Dunlap/Johnson/Lawson/Gilberry wouldn't be a bad rotation at all at DE.
