If people are hell bent on getting a safety for Buffalo this year(FA or Draft), hear me out.
Right now we have Spikes/Fletcher and ??? as our LB's.
Wire and Prielou as Safety.
Sign a stud Safety(Knight, etc) and bring in the FA and keep Prielou as safety and move Wire back to LB where he is the tackling machine he was in college. Some say Wire's coverage skills are lacking(though I say give him time, first year playing coverage for the most part, still learning), but everyone raves on his tackling and instinct to get to the ball. Some teams are playing LB's at 225lbs now in the NFL. Wire at 210 and strong as an ox could pull off playing LB in my mind. He was an animal at LB in college.
Bottom line.. LB's would be Spikes, Fletcher, Wire (wow, that's impressive tacklers).
Safety ... FA stud and Prielou.
Thoughts?
