I think we all wanted a safety, be it Ward, Byrd, Mitchell, etc. but we had just drafted Thomas and Rambo and Gruden probably didnt wanna give up on them. Also, it isn't like we gave DeSean Mike Wallace money. I say the 3 year deal with an option for a 4th was a great deal. Plus, like the Panthers showed, if you get to the QB doesn't matter who your safeties are for the most part.

If Orakpo, Kerrigan, Hatcher, Murphy, and Cofield can get to the QB on a consistent basis, our secondary will get a lot of opportunities to make plays.
