Yeah, but we don’t have a third round pick, so we suck now. It’s over. Close it up.

I have absolutely no idea how Justin Simmons hasn’t gotten signed yet.

We have the cap space to grab a few vets for high level depth if we wanted.

Tyler Boyd
Quandre Diggs
Andrus Peat

Boyd gives you a reliable depth option and like costs 6mil or so. Diggs is is probably in the 4-5mil range. Peat is probably in the 4-5mil range as well.

These guys probably know the safety class in this draft is meh and they are just waiting for the draft to be over so they’ll be in demand again.

I’m completely unconcerned. One of the documented talents that Holmes was lauded for with the Rams was uncovering late round gems at Safety. 201 and 205 gentlemen.

Jordan Fuller being one.

my guess is money or contract length

I’ll be honest, I kind of like Adrian Amos for the Lions. He’s not going to break the bank and he’s one of the better run defenders of the group. Plus, he can play high, he can play in the box, and he can even play in the slot.
