Not at all. Despite Landry's near certain pro bowl caliber talent, our safety situation will go as Sean Taylor does, with or without Landry. Seems kind of pointless to draft a safety only to watch offenses pick on the other safety.

And if Sean Taylor can establish himself as a feared cover man in this league, really, what would be the point of Landry then? It would just remove any possibility of us finding a hidden gem at the safety postion, and finding hidden gems is the only way to restore this defense quickly.

Put simply, we just have to get lucky, and not do stupid things like draft 2 top 6 safeties in 4 years.
