What makes him think Davis would be a good safety—or would want to play that position? He’s tall, and he’s got the weight, and he’s fast and has cover skills (so they say…I’ve never watched him). But usually only veteran corners are moved back to safety.

If the Saints move McKenzie to safety, or if they pick up a safety in free agency, this would be a good pick as a cornerback. (I’m not convinced it would be the best pick, though…what about Alphonso Smith or D.J. Moore?) But if McKenzie stays at corner, our starters are going to be MM and Porter—and we need a safety here. Or we need to trade down. He has Mark Sanchez still on the board; isn’t there somebody who would be willing to trade up to get him?

I’d like to see a collection of all the mock drafts’ projections for what the Saints do with the pick – I bet between now and April, we’ll have quite a range of opinion…

It’s good to read this and consider their logic, if at least just as an intellectual exercise. I’ve noticed that some of these mocks contain rationales that say nothing of a player’s skills and gifts, but just that “XYZ team needs a player at this certain position” I find those write-ups to be most unhelpful.

A potential huge bust. Him and Mays had the highest bust potential out of all the top 15 picks. Now that Mays is staying back, Davis is the riskiest pick in the first round.

Give us a trade down, or actually pick a corner with more reward than risk.

of corners that don’t have top-end speed. As for only veteran corners being turned into safeties, ever hear of antrell rolle – top ten pick from a few years back drafted as a corner. last time i checked, he’ll be starting at safety for az in the super bowl sunday, so there’s at least one out there to show that can work. don’t know what davis’ speed is like, though

CUSHING….why? I don’t know how true but some articles that i’ve read compare him to kevin greene (WOW). and i’m anxious to see how dan morgan will pan out. i like his inesity and confidence about coming back

but I’m big on Sean Smith. great speed and size….. also seems like a guy who could potentially play Safety. I’d rather see a Safety play Safety, though. If that’s the position to be fitted then it should be filled by a safety and not a converted CB.
