If anyone was watching last year, they would have noticed that Rogers does not have the stuff to be a #1 or a #2. Smoot is twice as good as Rogers. Springs has great talent, but is getting old. He can't be a #1 anymore. The 3 combined make a great trio though.
I do fully beleive that Springs would make a great safety assuming we find a viable CB to take his place, but that's a big if. We don't need a run stopper out of that spot, we need a cover guy. We have new blood in Fletcher to help sure up the LB's and help stop the run. What would help us stop the run even better is a DE. The fact that anyone here thinks we need anything out of the draft (minus maybe a guard) other than a DE is smoking crack. We need a pass rusher to help keep the offenses honest and will help our run stoppers.
If we get Bly, you'll find me over in the corner all giddy. Imagine Bly, Smoot, Rogers and Springs (safety or not) then getting one of those top notch DE's in the draft. I would guarantee we would get back to a top 10 defense. I can see our offense hitting top 10 as well, and if both are top ten, well ladies and gentlemen, that equals the playoffs.

Smoot is twice as good as Rogers? Rogers is a better tackler, faster and no worse in coverage. The only clear advantage that I see with Smoot is that he has better hands.

Look up the Youtube highlights of Smoot "covering" Steve Smith. No receiver has ever done that to Rogers.

Disagree with that?

haha, I've seen every CB be burnt at some point, so you want me to watch Smoot getting burnt by arguably the best and quickest WR in the game, that EVERY CB has difficulty covering? Yeah, that's a convincing argument.
I saw Rogers get burnt by crap wr's, so by your logic, I guess Rogers is horrible.
I don't buy that logic buddy. Getting burnt by the best, or getting burnt by the worst are not indications of how they actually perform. It happens. I know we exhault Green to godlike status, but yes, even Green got burnt on several occasions.
