    No way Campbell plays SS. He'd have to play FS due to his speed and coverage skills. No reason to put him in the box.

    I'd bring in Hope for the minimum to a million if no better options come available.

    I sure hope some better options become available.

    I thought Hope played pretty good in the box last year. He's an older player, and has slower reflexes, but his experience seemed to put him in good position last season. I agree with just about every poster on this board that his coverage skills are garbage, but I thought he was decent near the line of scrimmage.

    Bullitt has only played in 6 games over the last two yaers but he used to be a ST captain before he became a starter and might be willing to come in as a back up and play STs for a decent price.

    No way. Have we all not forgotten all the times that he got beat on play action. I would rather go after a SS that becomes a June 1st causality from another team than this guy.

    Yeah I'd just want him as a cheap backup/ST player

    No he hasn't and a UDFA or late round pick would be better than Hope at this point.

    I think yall are understating our need at safety. The only two players on the team who have shown the ability to play safety in the NFL are Griffin and Babineaux. If either of them get injured we have to play Robert Johnson. Chris Hope is better than Johnson.

    Hopefully, we can find an upgrade at safety some time after the draft. But I don't think there will be much available.

    Have you seen Hope play lately? I'd much rather give Johnson a shot who wouldn't play if Babs went down anyway cause he is a FS. Hope sucks he is slow and an awful open field tackler. I'd rather give a young kid a chance because maybe he surprises and plays well but if he sucks its still no worse than Chris Hope who is a guaranteed suck.
