AFter playing 30+ snaps a game all season, plus bowl practices and spring practice, I'm willing to call Derek Williams a veteran. He's about to be joined by other younger players, most likely, and unless the perfect safety hits the market, like say Bryce Anderson, I'm not sure I bite. Catalon is coming back, I believe. Warren Roberson has looked fucking great in practice. Nahlin says Jelani McDonald might be getting the safety or star treatment. Hampton, Rubell, and maybe Filisame are coming in looking to play. I think we still have Taffe. And the guys we're losing for depth will be addition by subtraction in the form of Crawford, Jerrin Thompson (fuck, doesn't he have a Covid year?), I'm assuming BJ Allen is gone, I'm assuming that Larry Turner-Gooden is gone.
With the talent coming in, I'm just not sure we go after a safety unless they're elite already. Safety isn't our biggest portal need, imo.
