That’s one of the reasons I like Pitre a lot as an option, he’s essentially a box safety with the athletic chops of a deep safety. He’s not as big as a typical box safety but man it hasn’t mattered much in college, the guy’s beastly around the box. Best instincts of any of these guys.
He’s got some work to do when he plays deep but he’s got the work ethic, smarts and most importantly athletic ability to figure it out. I don’t think we’ll draft him as again, I expect we’ll sign someone in FA, but we could do much worse.
I actually think Dax Hill’s a similar sort of safety, or at least he was this year, but he’s an even better athlete than Pitre. Not nearly as instinctive and doesn’t hold up as well against all the bigger bodies, but a similar guy you can do a lot of stuff with.
