Reed Doughty

[Stuck in TX]

I love Doughty, however, he lacks the speed needed in our current defensive backfield. He has what it takes to play safety as long as we get him some speed to keep up with burner receivers. He has angle, can hit, and is phenomenal on special teams. He is an asset but if we dont get some younger, faster CBs, we are going to need a quicker safety.

I don't see Doughty having to cover burners as much if he's the starting SS. His first assignment should be the TE, or possibly the slot WR in 3 WR sets.

as long as hes doing that, he will be great for us and I think we need to get a second day SS in the draft for depth.
