Ken Hamlin - Free Agent!

I like Doughty but, the guy is a huge liability in pass-coverage. He always came off as kind of a LB that was just stuck back there. I mean, the guy seems to be a good team guy and he's excellent at stopping the run but, I just don't want to see him in coverage against any teams #1 or #2 receiver.

I think, if we could get him for reasonably cheap, we should. Taking a safety that is proven in this league is a lot better IMO than taking a draft guy and expecting him to be a star from day 1. Not that I'm against drafting a young safety, because that DEF needs to be addressed. I just don't think it could hurt picking him, if for nothing else but depth.
