Rob331 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 The draft is over and the Eagles still only have 2 healthy NFL quality safties. Sydney Brown is recovering from a late season ACL , Tristen McCollom is completely unproven,m and Mekhi Gardner would have to make a position change. So we need one. Question is - do you want a starter or a servicable backup? Starters - Justin Simmons, Jamal Adams, Eddie Jackson, Marcus Maye, Jayron Kearse Servicable backup - Chandon Sullivan, Ryan Neal. So many available, I'd go for the potential starter and it would be Simmons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Don’t forget there’s a good chance DeJean plays Safety. I agree a mid level starter would be a good addition to add depth and experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procus Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Reed Blankenship is a good safety, plus we have CJGJ and Cooper DeJean. Sydney Brown will be back. We're fine at safety. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we are fine at Safety bud. We can disagree about Blankenship all we want but regardless of how we rate him we are scarily thin at Safety. I’m not saying go and add a starter but they have to add at least 1 more Safety. They can’t go in to the year with what they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 DeJean will play safety. He's versatile to move around. So you have 3 healthy safeties in CJG, Ghost and DeJawn. So they either keep McCollum or bring in a camp body they can stash on the practice squad when Sydney Brown comes back. They have a lot of corners. Fangio will need to get into camp and sort out what versatility is there to move guys around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterEagle Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Yeah as everyone else says Dejean will pay safety and that gives us three pretty good healthy safeties who can start with Brown hopefully back in the first month of the season. No need to add at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
