Ive said this before, Wil Blackmon and Duke have been head and tails above D Hall and Bruton at the safety this year. We really, really need too add a young guy from the draft in 17 to the safety core.
Another guy we added, Cullen Jenkins, maybe has been our 2nd best Dlineman this year behind Swaggy. Again, I think that speaks to our issues at that group.

Agreed, IMO the safety position is our main weakness now. I would've said DL at the beginning of the season, but Barry is doing a really nice job of finding ways to bring pressure, we currently rank 6th in the league in sacks (most of them by Kerrigan (8) and Murphy (7)), so this still needs to be addressed but safety is a priority.
I was wondering if playing Cravens as a SS would be a good idea? It could be a way to have him on the field while removing an average player and adding another solid tackler in Mason Foster who we didn't see much this Sunday... because Cravens was playing LB. Not sure if Cravens would be as efficient as he is as a safety though, but that could be an idea in a "putting your best players on the field" strategy...
